Welcome

The Monteiro Lab are interested in the formation and differentiation of blood stem cells during embryonic development, and how mutations in key regulators of stem cell function affect these cells and their progeny in haematopoietic disorders.  We use cutting-edge CRISPR-Cas9 technology, flow cytometry, genetics  and single cell genomics in the zebrafish, mouse and human ES cells.

The Lab is based at the Department of Cancer and Genomic Sciences, Medical School, University of Birmingham, UK.
