BME Seminar Series: Mitochondrial Contributions to Hematopoietic Homeostasis and the Pathogenesis of Hematological Disorders

Dr. Keisuke Ito is a tenured Full Professor of Cell Biology, Medicine, and Oncology, and Director of Scientific Resources at the Stem Cell Institute, Albert Einstein College of Medicine. He specializes in stem cell biology, hematology, and oncology. After earning his M.D. (2000) and Ph.D. (2004) from Keio University, Japan, and postdoctoral fellow at Harvard, he established his own lab at Einstein in 2012. Dr. Ito has published 51 peer-reviewed articles in leading journals like Cell Stem Cell, Nature, and Science, along with 33 invited publications. His research explores stem cell self-renewal and differentiation, using single-cell techniques to investigate mitochondrial roles in hematopoietic stem cells and related disorders.
