Background
Dr. Brandon Hadland is a hematologist/oncologist and stem cell transplantation expert who treats young patients in Seattle Children's transplant service. His research focuses on the origin of hematopoietic stem cells, which give rise to blood and immune cells. He harnesses new technologies to simultaneously analyze gene activities across the many different cell types within the physical site where the stem cells evolve and to characterize interactions between those various cells. He aims to identify the specific biological signals that trigger the formation of blood stem cells. His ultimate goal is to generate new sources of blood stem cells that could one day be used to correct inherited, blood-based diseases.

Research Interests
Role of Notch and other signal pathways in embryonic hematopoietic stem cell development.
Analysis of the hematopoietic niche during hematopoietic stem cell emergence, using single cell functional and molecular techniques.
Laboratory platforms for engineering hematopoietic stem and progenitor cell development.
Directed differentiation of murine and human pluripotent stem cells (that can make many different cell types) to selectively hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells, and development of certain (“innate-like”) immune cells during embryonic hematopoiesis.
