报告人简介：
Margaret A. Goodell is a Professor and Director of the Stem Cells and Regenerative Medicine Center at Baylor College of Medicine, in Houston, Texas. Goodell received her PhD from Cambridge University in England and underwent post-doctoral training at MIT and Harvard Medical School. At MIT, she developed a novel method for isolating blood-forming stem cells from mouse bone marrow based on a fortuitous observation that stem cells efflux fluorescent lipophillic dyes. This “side population (SP)” method has become widely used to isolate stem cells from a variety of species and adult tissues, including from cancer stem cells. Her current research is focused on the fundamental mechanisms that regulate hematopoietic stem cells, and how those regulatory mechanisms go awry in hematologic malignancies.
Goodell has been on the faculty at Baylor College of Medicine since 1997 as a member of the Center for Cell and Gene Therapy, and the Departments of Pediatrics, Molecular & Human Genetics, and Immunology. She holds the Vivian L. Smith Chair in Regenerative Medicine. She received the DeBakey Award for Excellence in Research in 2004 and 2010, the Stohlman Scholar Award from the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society in 2006, the Edith and Peter O’Donnell Award in Medicine in 2011, and the Damashek Prize from the American Society of Hematology in 2012. Goodell is President of the International Society for Experimental Hematology, has served on the board of the International Society for Stem Cell Research, and has served as chair of the Stem Cells and Regenerative Medicine committee for the American Society of Hematology. She is an Associate Editor for Blood, serves on the editorial boards of Cell Stem Cell and PLoS Biology, and as a reviewer for multiple journals and granting agencies. Goodell directs a laboratory of about 20 students and post-doctoral fellows.
