Paul Lerou

research fellow, George Daley's laboratory

Paul Lerou, MD, is Instructor in Pediatrics (HMS) and Newborn Medicine (BWH) at Thomas Jefferson University, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. His research interests include derivation of human pluripotent stem cells and pre-implanation embryonic development. Specifically, he is interested in studying the maintenance of genomic stability in human pluripotent stem cells. His lab is developing both live and fixed cell imaging techniques to study mitotic progression. They are also collaborating with Andrea Ballabeni, post-doctoral fellow in Marc Kirschener's lab, to perform biomolecular analysis of the pluripotent stem cell cycle.
