Dr. Elliott J. Hagedorn is a cell and developmental biologist with expertise in hematopoiesis, stem cell biology and vascular heterogeneity. Research in the Hagedorn Lab utilizes a combination of genetics, genomics and advanced live cell imaging in zebrafish to understand how blood and cancer cells migrate into and out of distinct tissues and organs. The goal of this work is to elucidate novel molecular mechanisms that can be therapeutically targeted to regulate cell migration in a tissue-specific fashion - to inhibit it in certain contexts (e.g., inflammatory diseases and cancer metastasis) and promote it in others (e.g., stem cell transplantation and cell-based therapies). Dr. Hagedorn received his PhD from Duke University for his work on basement membrane transmigration in the laboratory of Dr. David Sherwood. He completed postdoctoral training with Dr. Leonard Zon at Boston Children’s Hospital/Harvard Medical School. Dr. Hagedorn has taught in courses at Purdue, Duke, Harvard and in the Embryology Course at the MBL in Woods Hole, MA; his research has been funded by grants from the National Institutes of Health, Howard Hughes Medical Institute and the Helen Hay Whitney Foundation.
