Research in the Wall laboratory – Where hematopoiesis meets immunology
Hematopoietic stem cell transplant is the oldest form of stem cell therapy and is successfully used in the replacement of defective hematopoietic systems (aplastic anemia, sickle cell anemia, immunodeficiencies) and the treatment of leukemia and solid tumors.
Despite recent advances in hematopoietic stem cell transplant, reduced intensity transplant preparative regimen and use of haplo-identical grafts, there is still a great need for improvement at the pre- and post-transplant stages.
Our research projects target problems/situations at pre- and post-transplantation stages.
