Bryder Group Our ResearchOur research focuses on how hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) and their immediate offspring are regulated in situations such as infections, stress, aging and leukemia. Although HSCs are associated with a fairly clear functional definition regarding their developmental and self-renewal potential, all HSCs do not behave the same.We have developed and applied FACS-based high-re
