My lab works on (1) red blood cell development, especially the regulation of self-renewal, proliferation and differentiation of early and late erythroid progenitor cells by extracellular signals including erythropoietin, glucocorticoids, and oxygen; (2) long non-coding RNAs that regulate the differentiation and function of erythroid and myeloid cells and of white and brown adipose cells; (3) adipocyte biology: defining the mechanisms of insulin resistance and stress responses in adipose cells.
