Biography

Peter S. Klein, MD, PhD is a Professor in the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania, specializing in Hematology-Oncology. His research focuses on early vertebrate development, specifically on Wnt signaling, chromatin epigenetic regulation, hematopoietic stem cell biology, and the neuropharmacology of bipolar disorder. Klein's lab investigates molecular mechanisms of stem cell self-renewal and neurogenesis, utilizing various experimental techniques including microinjection and molecular analysis of chromatin structure. His research contributions include identifying key roles of Wnt signaling in chromatin architecture and the regulation of stem cells in both embryonic development and adult systems. He collaborates with other researchers to explore the interaction of signaling pathways in the context of hematopoietic stem cell culture and the molecular bases of mood stabilization treatments. Klein's work aims to translate fundamental discoveries into clinical applications for the treatment of hematopoietic disorders and neuropsychiatric conditions.
