Research Interests

My research interests are as follows:analysis of megakaryocyte differentiation is being investigated using cultured mammalian cells as a model system;introduction of dominant negative mutations of proteins known to be important in signal transduction is being carried out, as are alternative means of inducing differentiation in these cells.
