Scientific Advisory Board
Our Scientific Advisory Board members have published many of the discoveries that drive stem cell science today. We work closely with their laboratories in order to make their results reproducible simultaneously with publication whenever possible, and as soon as possible whenever it's not. Their investigations reflect the broad range of disciplines needed to energize the next new wave of breakthroughs. And when they do, you'll have the Stemgent reagents and tools you need to replicate their results.

Jeffrey M. Karp, Ph.D.Biodegradable, biocompatible engineered materials and polymeric delivery systemsInstructor in Medicine, Harvard-MIT Division of Health Sciences and Technology,Brigham and Women's Hospital
Dr. Karp obtained a Ph.D. in Chemical Engineering from the University of Toronto, where he worked with Professor John Davies and Molly Shoichet. Upon graduation, he was awarded the Paul B. Madsen Award for the most innovative graduate student. Hehas published 28 peer reviewed papers, 8 book chapters, 38 abstracts, and has 20 issued or pending patents, 5 of which have been licensed by biotech companies. He joined MIT as an NSERC Postdoctoral Fellow, working in Institute Professor Robert Langer's laboratory for 3 years in the areas of human embryonic stem cells, photocrosslinkable degradable elastomers, materials for influencing cell rolling, biomedical adhesives, and BioMEMS technologies. In 2005 he won first prize at an MIT Chemical Engineering Research Competition for his work on enhancing the differentiation efficiency of human embryonic stem cells. Dr. Karp's work has been featured by CNN, NPR Science Fridays, ABC News, MSNBC, CBC Quirks and Quarks, CanadaAM, BBC, Forbes, Popular Science, the Washington Post, the New York Post, and by Wired Magazine. Since 2006 he has been a member of the Editorial Board for the International Journal of Nanomedicine and currently is an ad-hoc reviewer for 18 journals in areas covering biomaterials, tissue engineering, and biotechnology. In 2007 he was invited as one of the top engineers in the country between the ages of 30 and 45 to attend the National Academy of Engineering US Frontiers of Engineering Symposium at Microsoft in Seattle.
