Dr. Lechman's research interests are centered on normal and malignant human hematopoietic stem and progenitor cell biology. My current research is focused on (1) understanding non-coding RNA control of the molecular and signaling pathways that direct the cellular fate of normal and malignant human hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells and (2) elucidating the developmental, cellular and molecular origins of adult and pediatric leukemia. My research is guided by multi-omic analysis of primary patient samples/tissues and utilizes functional genomics in combination with xenotransplantation into immune deficient mice. It is his hope that this work will advance the prospects for the therapeutic targeting of LSC and pre-leukemic HSC.
