P Georgia Panagiotakos, PhD [3]studies how electrical activity and calcium signaling regulate the differentiation of neural progenitor cells into specific neuronal subtypes in the context of both normal brain development and neurodevelopmental disorders. Barbara Panning, PhD [4]studies how RNA containing complexes modulate chromatin structure and gene expression. Emmanuelle Passegué, PhD [5] studies differentiation of hematopoietic stem cells and how deregulation of key steps gives rise to hematopoietic cancer stem cells that drive the development and progression of leukemia. Anders Persson, PhD [6] Development and biology of brain tumors Claudia Petritsch, PhD [7] studies the molecular basis of asymmetrical cell division in neuronal stem and progenitor cells. Samuel Pleasure, MD, PhD [8] studies the development of the brain, in particular the mechanisms regulating cell proliferation, migration and axon guidance during prenatal development. Jason Pomerantz, MD [9] Mesenchymal tissue regeneration
