A suite of engineered human pluripotent stem cell lines to facilitate the generation of hematopoietic stem cells [ 2015 - 2018 ]

Research Grant

Researchers: Prof Andrew Elefanty (Principal investigator) ,  Prof Edouard Stanley

Brief description Our goal is to develop tools that address major bottlenecks that have prevented the generation of blood forming stem cells in culture for therapeutic use. We will generate human embryonic stem cell reporter lines that can be used to monitor key milestones in blood stem cell development. These lines will serve as tools to identify growth conditions to improve the differentiation of pluripotent stem cells to functional blood stem cells.
