Project Details
Description
Anemia is one of the most common genetic disease world wide. It can have significant impact on health and can complicate treatment of other disorders. Work in my laboratory is trying to understand the molecular mechanisms by which the body responds to anemia and attempts to generate new red blood cells. We will utilize studies in a model oraganism, mice, which faithfully recapitulate the response in humans, to idenitfy key genes that are involved in the recovery from anemia. These studies will identify new targets for therapeutic intervention, which will ultimately improve the treatments for anemia and other blood cell disorders.
