Investigations into thymus regeneration
Research done by staff scientist Sinéad Kinsella and research technician Cindy Evandy was featured at ASH 2020. Their work focused on how damage-induced pyroptotic cell death can directly promote thymic regeneration.
This summer, the Dudakov lab hosted two summer interns from the Fred Hutch Pathways Undergraduate Researchers Program. Michael and Larissa worked on two projects over the summer- growing thymic fragments in vitro, and sorting macrophages from the thymus to include in our genomic map of thymic regeneration.
Our work on luteinizing hormone suppression to improve HSC recovery was featured in the Fred Hutch Science Spotlight.
Our paper, in collaboration with Dr. Marcel van den Brink of Sloan Kettering, was published in Nature Medicine.
