Inflammatory regulation of hematopoietic stem cells
Katherine Y. King MD PhD is Associate Professor of Pediatric Infectious Diseases at Baylor College of Medicine, where she is part of the faculty for the Stem Cells and Regenerative Medicine Center and serves as a co-director of the BCM MSTP. Her research focuses on the molecular mechanisms by which inflammation affects blood and immune cell production by hematopoietic stem cells in the bone marrow.
