This International Student Scholarships project will use mouse models to establish the cellular and molecular basis of cooperation between different classes of mutations in preleukemic stem cells and leukemia. Mutations are targeted to different stages of hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells in mouse models, to investigate how the impact of different target populations of primary cells in cellular and molecular properties, and the response of leukemia stem cell therapy.
The Fellow International Student Scholarships will work on the excellent research environment of the Weatherall Institute of Molecular Medicine at Oxford http://www.imm.ox.ac.uk/. The labhttp Jacobsen: / / www.imm.ox.ac.uk / wimm-research / haematopoietic-stem-cell-biology / sten-Eirik Jacobsen-waelgaard-consisting of about 15 members, who study the cellular and molecular mechanisms that regulate normal white blood cell differentiation from hematopoietic stem cells, and their dysregulation in hematologic malignancies.
