Professor Dr. Loh Laboratory

Biography

The Loh Laboratory is engaged in cutting-edge research in developmental biology, focusing on human pluripotent stem cells. Through innovative methodologies, the lab reconstitutes and maps the branching lineage choices of these stem cells as they differentiate into various cell types. The research aims to define the extracellular signals and their timing that enables the conversion of human pluripotent stem cells into specific cell types while preventing the formation of unwanted cell types. By creating nearly-pure batches of human blood, vessels, bones, and liver cells, the laboratory opens up new avenues in regenerative medicine and aids in exploring fundamental mechanisms of developmental biology.
