SITNICKA QUINN Group Our ResearchThe immune system is composed of myeloid and lymphoid cells that collectively protect the body from bacteria, parasites, fungi, or viruses, and from the growth of tumor cells. Hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) are ultimately responsible for the production of all cells in the immune system. Throughout a lineage commitment process, multipotent HSCs differentiate and ge
