Session:
Dr. McGrath is a Research Associate Professor working within Jim Palis' research group. Her research efforts are focused on better understanding the cellular and molecular events underlying the ontogeny of the hematopoietic system in the mammalian embryo. Her studies have focused on the emergence and differentiation of hematopoietic progenitors using the mouse embryo and embryonic stem cells as primary model systems and have involved extensive use of imaging flow cytometry including pioneering its use in analysis of erythroid and megakaryocyte lineages in bone marrow and fetal liver.
