... His research analyzes hemopoietic differentiation using retroviruses as markers and has focused on gaining insight into the in viva clonal behavior of the most primitive fetal liver or adult bone marrow hematopoietic stem cells. In particular, his laboratory is interested in understanding the mechanistic aspects of: (1)

... Prentice, PhD, is professor of life sciences at Indiana State University, adjunct professor of Medical and Molecular Genetics for Indiana University School of Medicine, and a founding member of Do No Harm: The Coalition of Americans for Research Ethics, an organization dedicated to the promotion of scientific research and health care that does no harm to human life. One current focus of his research is on adult stem cells and their differentiation signals.

... His laboratory has identified and isolated the blood-forming stem cell from mice and has defined, by lineage analysis, the stages of development between the stem cells and mature progeny. In addition, the Weissman laboratory has pioneered the study of the genes and proteins involved in cell adhesion events required for lymphocyte homing to lymphoid organs in viva, either as a normal function or as events involved in malignant leukemic metastases.
