معرفی
Erika Bach is a Professor at the NYU Grossman School of Medicine, affiliated with the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Pharmacology. Her research focuses on cancer, developmental genetics, metabolism, pharmacology, and stem cell biology, with particular emphasis on JAK/STAT signaling and stem cell self-renewal.
Education
- PhD from Washington University-St Louis
Research Interests
Her work explores the molecular mechanisms governing stem cell dynamics in developmental systems, including the role of JAK/STAT signaling in cellular competition and niche regulation. She investigates how somatic and germline stem cells interact in Drosophila models and how these interactions influence tissue homeostasis and disease.
Selected Publications
Recent studies highlight her contributions to understanding germline stem cell competition, spermatogonial dedifferentiation, and mitotic drive in Drosophila testes. Her work also identifies signaling pathways like Activin inhibition through Follistatin as critical regulators of niche quiescence.
