This Elks Scholarships project will use mouse models to form a network of cellular and molecular
basis of collaboration between different classes of mutations in preleukemic
and leukemia stem cells. Mutations are targeted to different stages
hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells in mouse models, to investigate how
The Elks Scholarships main target cell population distinct impact on the cellular and molecular
nature, and the response of leukemia stem cell therapy.The
Elks Scholarships Fellow will work in the excellent research environment of the Weatherall
Institute of Molecular Medicine http://www.imm.ox.ac.uk/ at Oxford. The
Jacobsen lab
http://www.imm.ox.ac.uk/wimm-research/haematopoietic-stem-cell-biology/sten-eirik-waelgaard-jacobsen
comprises approximately 15 members, who study the cellular and molecular
mechanisms that regulate normal white blood cell differentiation from
hematopoietic stem cells, and their dysregulation in hematological
malignancies.
