James Ropa studies blood-forming (hematopoietic) stem cells and the diseases that arise when they malfunction, including leukemia. The work explores how the bone marrow environment—factors like oxygen levels, cell signaling proteins, and metabolism—shapes stem cell function, aging, and regeneration. A recurring practical focus is improving umbilical cord blood as a source of stem cells for transplantation.
