Tami J KingsburyTami J. Kingsbury, PhD, is Assistant Professor of Physiology in the Center for Stem Cell Biology & Regenerative Medicine at the University of Maryland School of Medicine. Dr. Kingsbury has extensive background in genetics and molecular biology. She dscovered a novel family of calcineurin regulatory factors (RCANs) conserved from yeast to humans, now implicated in diverse human cancers. She helped develop a functional high throughput screen to identify microRNAs capable of regulating leukemia cell growth and differentiation. Her current research is focused on dissecting the role of the PAX-SIX-EYA-DACH (PSEDN) transcriptional network in leukemias. She is a scientific co-founder of 3DBioWorks, whose goal is to develop 3D bioreactors to grow normal and leukemic stem cells. In 2018 she became leader of CRISPR Services within the University of Maryland Cancer Center Translational Shared Services laboratory. Read More Read Less
