We have two research programs in stem cell biology. We are studying the molecular mechanisms of specifying myogenic and neurogenic lineages with the long-term goal of generating myogenic and neurogenic stem cells. We are also studying muscle stem cell transplantation with the goal of reconstituting skeletal muscle in the recipient.
