Lab Description
My lab works on B cell biology and the interaction between B cells and skeletal system. I am particularly interested in novel and interesting finding and new drug discovery. For example, I am the first to show that the immunoglobulin lambda-like polypeptide 1 (i.e. the λ5 protein encoded by the IGLL1 gene), heretofore thought to be an early B cell specific protein, is also expressed in mesenchymal stromal/stem cells (MSCs). This discovery connects skeletal development with early B lymphocyte development and opens the gate for new research with the potential to develop new tools for treating Rheumatologic bone diseases.
