About the Lab


The Kaufman laboratory uses human pluripotent stem cells to understand the development of blood cells.

The aim is to use human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) and human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) as a resource to produce blood and immune cells (mainly natural killer cells) for new clinical applications for treatment of relapsed/refractory cancers — both hematologic malignancies and solid tumors.

We are also working on production of blood cells (monocytes and macrophages) that can be used for tissue repair and regeneration.

Dr. Kaufman also provides clinical care for patients with hematological malignancies, with special interest in blood and marrow transplantation (BMT) and immune therapies.
