Expression and function of Ikaros in the cell development of medullary thymic epithelial cells (mTEC)

Hilde Schjerven - Professor, UC San Francisco

Status: Open     Weekly Hours: to be negotiated     Location: Off Campus

The Schjerven Lab at UCSF studies the transcription factor Ikaros (encoded by the Ikzf1 gene) and its different biological roles in immune cell development and disease. In a recent collaborative work, we found that the transcription factor Ikaros is expressed in medullary thymic epithelial cells (mTEC), and important for the...

Studies of development of eosinophils using mouse models

Hilde Schjerven - Professor, UC San Francisco

Status: Open     Weekly Hours: to be negotiated     Location: Off Campus

The Schjerven Lab at UCSF studies the transcription factor Ikaros (encoded by the Ikzf1 gene) and its different biological roles in immune cell development and disease. We have found that the transcription factor Ikaros is important in development of eosinophils, a type of white blood cell that is part of...

Studies of leukemia to uncover new therapeutic targets

Hilde Schjerven - Professor, UC San Francisco

Status: Open     Weekly Hours: to be negotiated     Location: Off Campus

The Schjerven Lab at UCSF studies the transcription factor Ikaros (encoded by the Ikzf1 gene) and its different biological roles in immune cell development and disease. Ikaros is an important tumor suppressor in B-cell lineage acute lymphoblastic leukemia, and we have multiple projects in our lab to study how...
