Research Interests

Alex studies the role of proteoglycans in regulating hematopoietic stem cell self-renewal. Specifically, she focuses on syndecan-2, a heparin-sulfate proteoglycan known to increase the self-renewal capacity of HSCs in mice. She hopes that by studying the regulation and function of this molecule, she can uncover ways to improve bone marrow transplants and recovery from radiation or chemotherapy treatments affecting the bone marrow.
