Dr. Steiner's research training was conducted at Yale in the laboratory of Dr. Patrick Gallagher, whose outstanding mentorship helped to foster her interest in hematology research. While in Dr. Gallagher's laboratory, Dr. Steiner became interested in erythroid gene regu- A Global Collaboration dedicated to improving the lives of patients with B-Cell Malignancies lation and used next-generation sequencing technologies to study the dynamic relationship between factor binding, chromatin structure, and erythroid gene expression. Her research training was supported by a fellowship offered through the Pediatric Scientist Development Program. After the completion of her clinical and research fellowships, Dr. Steiner remained at Yale as an instructor, prior to taking her current position as an assistant professor of pediatrics at the University of Rochester in 2011. Here she has established an independent laboratory that investigates the molecular and epigenetic mechanisms underlying erythroid cell maturation. Her ASH Scholar Award project is titled "Investigation into the Role of LSD1 in Erythroid Development Using Functional and Genomics Technologies." LSD1 is a histone demethylase known to play an important role in erythroid maturation. Dr. Steiner's project combines genomics techniques with detailed functional analyses to gain insights into how an ubiquitously expressed chromatin modifier influences erythroid-specific gene expression. Dr. Steiner is honored to receive an ASH Scholar Award; it has been a tremendous support during a critical time in her research career. © Pharmacyclics, Inc. 2013 © Janssen Biotech, Inc. 2013 11/13 PRC-00218 T:10.75" Come visit us at Booth 3252 B:11.25" S:9.875" Owen Tamplin, PhD Since 2009, Dr. Tamplin has been a postdoctoral research fellow at Boston Children's Hospital in the department of Hematology/Oncology.

In particular, he is interested in how a stem cell communicates with its microenvironment. Dr. Tamplin earned his BSc in biochemistry from McGill University in Canada. He received his PhD in molecular genetics from the University of Toronto. His graduate work in the laboratory of Dr. Janet Rossant focused on the development and patterning of the early mouse embryo.
