    Project
    I have two projects I have been working on for my PhD.
    1) Investigating the existence and function of bi-potent stem cells in the human liver (Kent and Segal et al, Nature Communications, 2019).
    2) Conducting a high-throughput screen on hiPSC-derived hepatocytes generated from patients with alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency (A1ATD) to identify new therapeutic strategies (manuscript in preparation). Both projects have been running in parallel for the last 3 years. My time in the Mueller lab is focused on testing a new therapeutic strategy for A1ATD.
