Using direct reprogramming to generate and rejuvenate haematopoietic stem cells [ 2016 - ]

Research Grant

Researchers: Prof Jose Polo (Principal investigator) ,  Asst Prof Owen Rackham ,  Prof Susan Nilsson

Brief description One of the greatest promises of regenerative medicine lies in our ability to reprogram any cell type of the body into any other cell type. Transdifferentiation is the conversion of one adult cell type to another and it is believed to be the next frontier in regenerative medicine therapies since it can be used in vivo for the direct conversion of one cell type into another. The outcomes of this grant will push the limits of these technologies to generate new regenerative medicine strategies.
