 SGS: Bertie Göttgens - From early blood development to quantitative tissue models
Bertie Göttgens from the Cambridge Institute for Medical Research (CIMR), UK joins the Special Guest Seminar Series 2023. On May 25th at 1 pm he will give a talk “From early blood development to quantitative tissue models”.

The Göttgens group uses a combination of experimental and computational approaches to study how transcription factor networks control the function of blood stem cells and how mutations that perturb such networks cause leukaemia. This integrated approach has resulted in the discovery of new combinatorial interactions between key blood stem cell regulators, as well as experimentally validated computational models for blood stem cells. Current research focuses on (i) single cell genomics of early blood development, (ii) computer models to chart the transcriptional landscape of blood stem and progenitor cell differentiation, (iii) transcriptional consequences of leukaemogenic mutations in leukaemia stem/progenitor cells, and (iv) molecular characterization of human blood stem/progenitor cell populations used in cell and gene therapy protocols.
