Bruce Draper studies the mechanisms that regulate adult stem cell behavior in zebrafish as a model organism. Stem cells, which self-renew as well as give rise to differentiated progeny, seem to play a central role in the biology of cancers, including acute myelogenous leukemia (AML), breast, and brain cancers.
