Pamela Wenzel, Ph.D., is Associate Professor of Integrative Biology & Pharmacology at the University of Texas in Houston. She completed her doctorate at Ohio State University with Gustavo Leone where she unveiled chief regulatory roles for the Rb tumor suppressor in trophoblast stem cells of the placenta. She also showed that E2F1-3 transcriptional activators thought to be necessary for cell cycle are dispensable in embryonic stem cells. Dr. Wenzel conducted post-doctoral training at Boston Children’s Hospital with George Daley. There she studied the role that adipocytes play in hematopoiesis of the bone marrow and how biomechanical force drives development of hematopoietic precursors in the embryonic vasculature. Her lab studies how vascular force regulates fate decisions and energy metabolism during hematopoietic stem cell specification and expansion.
