Welcome to the Steiner Laboratory

The Steiner Lab investigates the molecular and genetic mechanisms that regulate red blood cell development. Anemia, or low red blood cell count, is the most common hematologic disorder in both children and adults. Our research integrates genomic, molecular, and cellular approaches to uncover the fundamental processes that sustain healthy blood formation and whose disruption contributes to hematologic disease.

We also collaborate on clinical and translational studies that explore the genetic and molecular basis of human developmental and blood disorders. Our work has contributed to identifying and characterizing pathogenic gene variants in rare congenital syndromes and has revealed signaling and epigenetic pathways that may serve as therapeutic targets for anemia.

The Steiner Lab fosters a collaborative and supportive environment that values curiosity, rigor, and teamwork. We are deeply committed to training the next generation of scientists, providing mentorship and opportunities for students and postdoctoral fellows to grow as independent and creative researchers.
