My laboratory studies signaling mechanisms that govern cardiovascular biology with a focus on protease-activated receptors and G protein-coupled receptors in general. Work directly related to stem cell biology includes a project to identify all GPCRs expressed by hematpoietic stem cells and to identify their roles in HSC homing, self-renewal, and commitment to progenitor fate.
