A major area of interest in our laboratory is to understand molecular signals that determine the fate of tissue specific adult stem cells i.e. whether to self renew or differentiate into the target cell of choice.

A second major focus of our laboratory is to understand molecular changes that underlie age related decline of physiological function in solid organs.
