Helen M. Ranney Professor and Chair, Department of Medicine. Brought platelet biology into the molecular era by devising the strategy for the cloning of thrombopoietin (TPO), the key platelet development factor; elucidating the role of TPO in platelet formation and stem cell expansion; and showing how TPO controls the expression of specific homeobox proteins, helping to explain its effects on stem cell biology.
