Brandon Hadland, MD, PhD

Principal Investigator

Following completion of an MD/PhD degree in Molecular Cell Biology at Washington University in St. Louis, Brandon arrived in Seattle to pursue Pediatric Residency at Seattle Children’s Hospital in 2006. He entered the Pediatric Hematology/Oncology Fellowship program at the Fred Hutch/University of Washington in 2009, investigating hematopoietic stem cell biology under the mentorship of Irv Bernstein. Building on his graduate studies identifying the role of Notch signaling in developmental hematopoiesis, his research has focused on elucidating the signaling mechanisms regulating serial waves of embryonic hematopoiesis giving rise to unique lineages of blood and immune cells and the first hematopoietic stem cells.
