Rossant's lab is based in Toronto, Canada, at the SickKids, and focuses on stem cell and embryonic research. The lab specifically focuses on how cells in the early mouse embryos decide their fate and how this information can be applied to maintaining and differentiating embryo-derived stem cells. They then use this information to research how to change human iPS cells (induced pluripotent stem cells) into cell types that are useful for investigating human cell biology and disease. Her research includes using genetic manipulation, live imaging, proteomics and single cell expression analysis to study fundamental lineage development.
