Dr. Rong Lu’s lab studies stem cell coordination, regulation and malfunction from a single cell perspective. If you’re interested in studying stem cells or cancer at the single cell level, please email …
Meet Dr. Yulia Shwartz, a new faculty member at USC Stem Cell. Her lab studies the mechanisms that control stem cell behavior in homeostasis, stress and aging, using the skin as a …
The Shwartz Lab at USC Stem Cell is a multidisciplinary group combining neuroscience, stem cell biology and physiology, to study skin stem cell regulation in homeostasis and in response to multiple challenges. …
If Tianli “Sheldon” Ding needed any confirmation that he was on the right path in life, he got in the form of a diagnosis: leukemia. When Ding was an undergraduate in college, …
To discover new therapies to treat disease, scientists use living cells to study drug action and identify new drug candidates. The Choi Family Therapeutic Screening Facility in USC’s stem cell research center …
Microscopy is as important today as it was when the first microscope was invented more than 400 years ago. In the Optical Imaging Facility in USC’s stem cell research center, scientists use …
To study a specific cell type, such as a rare stem cell, to understand its role in development or disease, scientists must separate this cell from many other cells present in a tissue or …
The Chen laboratory uses mouse genetics and human stem cells and organoids to study brain development and craniofacial neuroscience. The goal is to develop therapeutic strategies to treat developmental brain and craniofacial …
Lizards can regrow severed tails, making them the closest relative to humans that can regenerate a lost appendage. But in lieu of the original tail that includes a spinal column and nerves, …
Giorgia Quadrato, an assistant professor of stem cell biology and regenerative at USC, shares her experience of how her department is building a community that is inclusive and diverse, and promoting gender …
The University of Southern California has designed a unique “incubator” for scientists, engineers and clinicians to collaborate across disciplines and leverage the transformative power of stem cells to develop the future of …
The Flow Cytometry Facility is the central resource for cell sorting and analysis at USC. The facility serves around 100 research laboratories across both campuses of USC, as well as external clients. …
