Thelma Escobar on Epigenetics in Hematopoietic Stem Cells and Cancer
Thelma Escobar, an assistant professor of biochemistry at the University of Washington, presented at the JHU Department of Biology's Seminar Series on Thursday, September 25th, 2025.
She discussed the progress her lab has recently made regarding chromatin modifications in hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) and the adaptive immune system.
HSCs exist in our bone marrow and proliferate to both maintain their HSC identity and differentiate to give rise to our blood and immune cells.
This maintenance and transition is highly regulated, and epigenetic factors like histone modifications have an important role in this process.
