Personal Statement:
I am the Director of the Stem Cell Program at UC Davis School of Medicine, and I direct the Institute for Regenerative
>
Cures.
The UC Davis stem cell program has over 150 faculty members collaborating to work toward stem cell-related
cures for a spectrum of diseases and injuries. The current research in our laboratory is focused on developing therapies
that will use stem cells to deliver factors for treating disease and tissue injury. Our group focuses on “bench to the
bedside” research, and I have been involved in numerous clinical trials of gene and cell therapy. I have more than 25
years’ experience with human stem cells, have published over 100 manuscripts in the stem cell field and have authored 30
book chapters. I have served on over 200 review panels for the National Institutes of Health and other grant-funding
agencies, am Editor for the Journal “Stem Cells” and editor of the Book "Genetic Engineering of Mesenchymal Stem
Cells". In 2012 I received a prestigious Transformative Grant Award from the NIH office of the Director, based on our
novel work on cell-to-cell communication. My passion is to help our teams bring exciting advances in stem cell therapy
from the bench to the bedside, to develop novel clinical trials of regenerative medicine to help our patients who have few
other options.
