Main Profile

Full Name and Degrees: 
George Q. Daley, M.D., Ph.D.
Member Role: 
Principal Investigator
Institutional affiliation: 
Children's Hospital Boston
Hub Site: 
08-George Daley
Objective: 

Dr. George Daley (Children's Hospital, Boston) and Dr. Kenneth Chien (Massachusetts General Hospital) hope to advance regenerative therapy of cardiac and blood disorders by developing iPSC models of human disease technology.

research focus: 

Dr. Daley's work focuses on pluripotent stem cells, which have the potential to differentiate into all other cell types. More specifically:

  • Differentiation of hematopoietic (blood producing) stem cells from embryonic cells and induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells
  • Self-renewal and differentiation of human ES and iPS cells.
  • Germ cell development.
  • Target-directed chemotherapy for chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML).
