Research Focus
Questions to address in regards to telomere maintenance and mechanisms governing telomerase regulation in human pluripotent stem cells:
1) What is the mechanism of telomerase regulation in human stem cells, upon their differentiation and during tumor formation?
2) What are the molecular mechanisms underlying the recruitment of telomerase to the telomere in human cells?
3) What are the consequences of telomere shortening in stem cells and how does this impact tumor formation?
