Developmental Origins of Blood Stem Cells and Leukaemia
Katrin Ottersbach - Chancellor's fellow / Senior lecturer / LLR Bennett senior fellow
Research in a Nutshell Our group is studying leukaemia in infants as a unique, developmental disease. Complementing our other interests in how blood cells are generated during development, we are trying to understand how the properties of the foetal cell-of-origin in infant leukaemia dictates the disease phenotype and the implications this has for designing treatment strategies that are specifically tailored to the requirements of infant patients.
