We study RNA regulators in stem cell fate regulations and cancer.
The Luo laboratory studies the mechanisms controlling hematopoietic stem cell fate choices in normal and diseases, with an overarching goal to develop novel therapeutic strategies for hematological diseases associated with stem cell defects. We are specifically interested in understanding how RNA regulators, including RNA modification and other novel disease-relevant RNA binding proteins, impact these processes. We use multi-disciplinary approaches, including mouse genetics, CRISPR genome engineering, multicolor flow cytometry, confocal microscope, and single-cell profiling technologies to tackle the following fundamental questions.
Blood stem cell fate decisions
What drives stem cell fate control in normal versus malignant contexts?
What intrinsic and extrinsic factors determine stem cell fates?
Can these regulators be leveraged for therapeutics against diseases?
Mechanistic role of RNA regulators
How does post-transcriptional regulation impact stem cell fates in normal and disease?
The molecular mechanisms by which RNA regulators influence stem cell fate decisions?
