NHLBI 70th Anniversary Lecture Features Dr. George Q. Daley, the dean of Harvard Medical School

Dear colleagues,

I hope that you are able to attend the next and final lecture in the NHLBI 70th Anniversary Lecture Series, which will feature Dr. George Q. Daley, the dean of Harvard Medical School and the Caroline Shields Walker Professor of Medicine at Harvard.

Dr. Daley is a world-renowned expert in stem cell biology. His research focuses on how stem cells in bone marrow become different kinds of blood cells and how that process can inform our understanding of blood disorders and cancer. He will discuss his lab’s novel strategies for developing different blood-forming (hematopoietic) cell types from stem cells, and how these cells can be used to better understand embryonic blood cell development and to model genetic diseases of the blood such as immune deficiencies, bone marrow failure, and sickle cell disease.
