Dr. Bhatia’s program seeks to understand the molecular mechanisms that govern somatic and pluripotent human stem cell development through; 1) characterization of molecular pathways and genomic targets that regulate hematopoietic and pluripotent stem cells differentiation, and 2) use novel in vivo models for cellular/tissue regeneration through xeno-transplantation. As a recognized leader in human stem cell biology and applications, Dr. Bhatia’s work has been published in several major journals over the years, and his program continues to focus on two central areas; a) developing abundant sources of human hematopoietic progenitors, and b) using human stem cells to develop treatments to eliminate tumor reoccurrence. Dr. Bhatia also serves as a scientific consultant to government and industry, and to medical companies interested in stem cell-based technologies, and sits on numerous editorial and scientific advisory boards.
