Haematopoietic stem cells from human pluripotent stem cells: the future of bone marrow transplantation [ 2017 - ]

Research Grant

Researchers: Prof Andrew Elefanty (Principal investigator)

Brief description Blood stem cell transplantation is a vital therapy for patients with leukaemia following chemotherapy or for patients with bone marrow failure. Because many patients lack a donor, there is a need for an alternate source of stem cells. My laboratory will make blood stem cells from human pluripotent stem cells that will treat patients needing a transplant and will be a useful research tool to help us to understand what goes wrong in the blood system in a range of illnesses.
