Prof.Bonnet's research focuses on how new blood cells are made in the bone marrow and understanding the steps that lead to blood cancer. The Bonnet lab uses advanced microscopy techniques to uncover how stem cells grow, divide in both normal coniditions and leukaemia. Also, tha lab works with haematopoietic stem cells are transplanted into immunodeficient mice to see how they grow and repopulate bone marrow.
