Sottile Lab

 

Stem Cell Biology & Cell Differentiation

Adult Stem Cell Research group at the University of Nottingham:

A growing body of literature refers to stem cells from embryonic or adult origin, and describes the active effort shared by many labs to better understand their biology. The issues of stem cell commitment and multipotency are fundamental for the manipulation of adult stem cell populations for therapeutic use.

Our group has a particular interest in studying the biology of adult stem cells from human and mouse origin. We carry out research to understand adult stem cell characteristics and potential in comparison to embryonic stem cells, in order to devise molecular and cellular methods to control their differentiation in vitro and in vivo.

Our lab is based in the Wolfson Centre for Stem Cells, Tissue Engineering and Modelling (‘STEM’), which offers a multidisciplinary environment for fundamental research, as well as clinical links to the Medical School and Queen’s Medical Centre. We are part of the School of Clinical Sciences (Division of Human Development), and are also members of the Institute of Genetics and the Institute of Neuroscience.
