Explored epigenetic mechanisms of histone demethylases (LSD1, UTX & JMJD3) in hematopoietic development and lymphoid & myeloid leukemias by generating mouse models; applied multi-color flow cytometry, global gene expression profiling and ChIP-sequencing; wrote grant proposals and scientific papers; reviewed scientific publications; hired and supervised Research Assistants; participated and presented at weekly lab meetings, department meetings and international conferences.

Analyzed how STAT5 regulates hematopoietic development, iron metabolism and disease progression using animal models and primary tissue culture systems; wrote scientific papers; supervised and mentored undergraduate student; organized bi-weekly journal club; participated and presented at weekly lab meetings, department meetings and international conferences.

Studied transcriptional regulation by the transcription factor STAT5 during erythroid differentiation using primary tissue culture systems; participated and presented at weekly lab meetings and international conferences.
