Research Interests:
Our laboratory focuses on safety outcomes of stem cell research: 1) We are interested in stem cell-based predictive toxicology models to determine teratogenic and somatic toxicity of chemicals and drugs during early development and adulthood. 2) We study epigenetics as a means to understand tumorogenesis and plasticity of stem cells.
