Wilkinson Group: Blood Stem Cell Expansion and Fitness
Haematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) support blood cell production throughout life and are also used clinically in cell and gene therapies. We are studying the biology of this important stem cell population with the aim of developing new HSC-based therapies.
Chakraverty Group: Haematopoietic Transplantation and Immunotherapy
- MRC Molecular Haematology Unit
- MRC Weatherall Institute of Molecular Medicine
- Nuffield Division of Clinical Laboratory Sciences
Our group is interested in developing novel immunotherapeutic approaches for leukaemia. Clinical approaches currently used include allogeneic haematopoietic stem cell transplantation, chimeric antigen receptor T cell therapy and immune checkpoint inhibitors. While each of these approaches can…
Psaila Group: The tumour microenvironment in blood cancers
- MRC Molecular Haematology Unit
- MRC Weatherall Institute of Molecular Medicine
- Nuffield Division of Clinical Laboratory Sciences
We focus on four key areas: (1) Dissecting how blood cancers create 'self-reinforcing' niches that promote clonal expansion and protect malignant clones from immunotherapies; (2) Development and application of human bone marrow organoids to study normal and malignant haematopoiesis and validate tar…
Davies Group: Genomics and Clinical Genome Editing
- MRC Molecular Haematology Unit
- MRC Weatherall Institute of Molecular Medicine
- Nuffield Division of Clinical Laboratory Sciences
We are primarily interested in understanding how the genome functions and to leverage this to develop novel genome editing based cellular therapies
Patel Group: Two tier protection and metabolic genotoxicity during blood production
We study endogenous DNA damage caused by metabolites and their impact on the function of vertebrate stem cells and the ageing process
de Bruijn Group: Developmental Haematopoiesis
- MRC Molecular Haematology Unit
- MRC Weatherall Institute of Molecular Medicine
- Nuffield Division of Clinical Laboratory Sciences
We study the embryonic origins of blood stem cells with the aim to inform the generation of these cells in culture, and ultimate produce clinically relevant blood stem cells for therapeutic purposes.
Mead Group: Haematopoietic Stem Cell Biology
- MRC Molecular Haematology Unit
- MRC Weatherall Institute of Molecular Medicine
- Nuffield Division of Clinical Laboratory Sciences
The Haematopoietic Stem Cell Biology (HSCB) Laboratory is focused on understanding how the normal haematopoietic stem/progenitor hierarchy is disrupted during the development of myeloid malignancies. Our overarching aim is to improve the management of myeloproliferative neoplasms and related conditio…
Vyas Group: Biology and Treatment of Human Myeloid Cancers
- MRC Molecular Haematology Unit
- MRC Weatherall Institute of Molecular Medicine
- Nuffield Division of Clinical Laboratory Sciences
We aim to understand the fundamental biological processes underlying normal and malignant haematopoiesis and translate this to improve patient outcomes through new rational therapies.
Hughes Group: Genome Biology
- MRC Molecular Haematology Unit
- MRC Weatherall Institute of Molecular Medicine
- Nuffield Division of Clinical Laboratory Sciences
Using genomics, computational and synthetic biology approaches to understand how genes are regulated in health and disease.
Milne Group: Epigenetic Control of Gene Expression in Leukaemia and Haematopoiesis
- MRC Molecular Haematology Unit
- MRC Weatherall Institute of Molecular Medicine
- Nuffield Division of Clinical Laboratory Sciences
Aberrant epigenetic changes are a driving force in many human cancers. The focus of our lab is centred on understanding how epigenetics impacts gene regulation so that this information can potentially be used to develop new therapeutic strategies.
Nerlov Group: Hematopoietic Stem Cell Genetics
- MRC Molecular Haematology Unit
- MRC Weatherall Institute of Molecular Medicine
- Nuffield Division of Clinical Laboratory Sciences
Hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) transplantation is the only stem cell therapy in routine clinical use, and it is also the cell type that gives rise to most blood cancers. We use single cell biology and genetics to understand how hematopoietic stem cells normally sustain blood formation, and how this process is alte…
