Overview

My lab focuses on tissue stem cell research using the skeletal muscle and adipose tissue as the organ systems. We are interested in understanding the molecular regulation of stem cell fate determination and how deregulation of stem cell homeostasis leads to degenerative and chronic diseases; and exploring strategies to target stem cells to treat diseases such as muscular dystrophy, obesity, type 2 diabetes and cancer. We use standard cellular, molecular and developmental biology techniques and animal models to pursue these goals.
