Epigenetic Regulation of Stem Cell Self-Renewal and Differentiation (Peggy Goodell)
Episode 42
February 17, 2021
In this episode of the Epigenetics Podcast, we caught up with Dr. Margaret (“Peggy”) Goodell from Baylor College of Medicine in Houston, Texas to talk about her work on the epigenetic regulation of stem cell self-renewal and differentiation. We discuss how she developed a new method to isolate hematopoietic stem cells even though she wasn’t looking for it, how she discovered DNMT3A as an important factor in stem cell decision making, and how she entered and approached new fields of research along the path of her research career.
