Research

Current research activities encompass a wide range of collaborative efforts in both basic and clinical domains. Our faculty have established and led several interdepartmental research programs including the Stem Cell Institute, the Hemostasis and Thrombosis Program (Mark Reding), the Vascular Biology Program (Robert Hebbel), the Breast Cancer Biology Program (Douglas Yee), and the Stem Cell Biology Program (Philip McGlave). These join the established Adult Blood and Marrow Transplantation Program (Daniel Weisdorf). HOT Division faculty (Jeffrey Miller, Douglas Yee, Carol Lange) also hold leadership positions in the Masonic Cancer Center, University of Minnesota, an NCI-designated comprehensive cancer center.
