Wei Tong Laboratory

Led by Wei Tong, PhD, researchers in the Tong Laboratory are studying cytokine receptor signaling in hematopoietic stem/progenitor development. They’re also working to decipher the underlying molecular mechanisms by which dysregulation of these pathways contribute to the oncogenesis of certain high-risk pediatric leukemias. The long term goal of the research conducted in this laboratory is to unravel these molecular mechanisms and explore new therapeutic strategies to treat children with high-risk leukemias.
