I had the privilege of completing a semester long research project at the Australian Centre for Blood Diseases at the Alfred Hospital. My research utilised umbilical cord blood derived erythroid progenitor cells (HUDEP-2) to better understand JAK-STAT signalling in myeloproliferative neoplasms. We aimed to investigate the effect of EGR1 knockout on the expression of target genes when stimulated by EPO, aiming to better understand the molecular pathways involved in various blood cancers. This research was conducted as part of the HUP3990 unit (Human pathology in action research project) at Monash University, for which I was awarded a high distinction for both my thesis and for the seminar in which I presented my findings.
