Research Description

Research in Dr. Hadland's lab focuses on the origin of hematopoietic stem cells, which give rise to blood and immune cells, and how the pathways that regulate hematopoietic stem cell development contribute to mechanisms of resistance and relapse in childhood leukemias. The long-term goals of his lab's research include identifying new approaches to generate and expand hematopoietic stem cells for transplant and gene therapies and devising novel strategies to cure pediatric leukemias and prevent their recurrence.
