Rong Lu Lab

Our lab uses hematopoietic stem cells as a model to study stem cell coordination, regulation, and malfunction from a single cell perspective.

@USCStemCell Congrats @KShenLab !!!

[Rong Lu Lab @RongLuLab]

Huge milestone for the lab today as 3 more PhDs officially got hooded! 🎓 Bittersweet to see them go, but so excited for their next chapters. Best of luck, Doctors! @USCPIBBS @USCStemCell @KECKSchool_USC #FightOn ✌️

[Rong Lu Lab @RongLuLab]

Is there a doctor on the plane? Yes, but he’s the kind that can explain the correlation of cellular pathways rather than perform surgery. Congratulations to our newest PhD, Dr. Zachary Thomas! 🎓 @USCViterbi @USCStemCell @USC #fighton ✌️

[Rong Lu Lab @RongLuLab]

A bit late but big news in the Lu Lab! 🥳 We are thrilled to announce that Dr. Rong Lu has been promoted to Full Professor. Thank you for being an inspiration to us all and for showing us what’s possible with hard work and passion. Time to celebrate! 🥂✨ #USCStemCell #USC

Did we find the fountain of youth (for the immune system)? ⛲️

@USCStemCell scientist Rong Lu and her collaborators point the finger at a small subset of blood stem cells that keep immune systems youthful and effective in warding off age-related diseases. https://t.co/VqUePTqz9v

[Rong Lu Lab @RongLuLab]

Our study looking at how the immune system keeps its youth has aged beautifully over the years, but it’s finally out! Congrats to our Senior Scientist, Dr. Nogalska! #USCStemcell #immuneaging #hematopoieticstemcells #keckschoolofmedicine

Excited to share that with the @ElowitzLab at @Caltech we’ve been awarded the NIH Director’s Transformative Research Award! We’ll use MEMOIR technology to study blood cell production in bone marrow, potentially improving patient treatments. 🧬🩸 #USCStemcell #StemCellResearch

[USC Stem Cell @USCStemCell]

USC’s Rong Lu and Caltech’s Michael B. Elowitz win the NIH Director’s Transformative Research Award for their new approach to study blood and immune cell production in bone marrow. https://t.co/eFRRJsy8vx @USCStemCell @KeckSchool_USC @NIH_CommonFund #NIHHighRisk
