Biography

Erika Bach is a Professor in the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Pharmacology at New York University. Her research focuses on the JAK/STAT signaling pathway and its critical role in regulating stem cell numbers and oncogenesis. Bach's work investigates how this pathway controls the balance of stem cell self-renewal and differentiation, particularly in mammals and in model organisms such as Drosophila. She has identified key regulators within the JAK/STAT pathway that suggest potential therapeutic targets for cancer treatment. With a solid background in developmental genetics, pharmacology, metabolism, and stem cell biology, her contributions have been influential in understanding the mechanisms behind stem cell behavior and cancer stem cell dynamics.
