Biography

Peter S. Klein, MD, PhD, is a Professor in the Department of Medicine at the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania. His research focuses on early vertebrate development and the mechanisms governing pattern formation, particularly in relation to Wnt signaling and chromatin epigenetic regulation. His laboratory explores various aspects of hematopoietic stem cell biology, including regulation of stem cell self-renewal and neurogenesis, relevant to neuropharmacology conditions such as bipolar disorder. Klein utilizes various experimental techniques including microinjection and molecular analysis to investigate the pathways involved in stem cell function and development. His long-term interest is in translating these findings to clinical applications, particularly in hematopoietic stem cell transplantation and treatment of bone marrow failure disorders. Klein has published extensively on these topics and continues to collaborate with peers in studying the molecular mechanisms involved in mood stabilization and other psychiatric conditions.
