Dr. Temple received her undergraduate degree at Cambridge University, UK, specializing in developmental biology and neuroscience. She obtained her PhD at University College London on optic nerve development and completed a postdoctoral fellowship at Columbia University, NY.
In 1989, Dr. Temple discovered that the embryonic mammalian brain contained a rare stem cell that produced both neurons and glial cells. Since then, her group has continued to make pioneering contributions to the field of neural stem cell research.
She has helped identify factors that regulate stem cell growth and demonstrated the benefit of sustained release growth factors for stem cell activation and maintenance.
In recognition of her work, Dr. Temple has received the Royal Society Stothert Research Fellowship, the Javits NIH merit award, the MacArthur award, the Ellison investigator award and an R35 award from NINDS.
Jeffrey Stern received his PhD in Biophysics from Brandeis University and completed his post-doctoral research at the Rockefeller University, University College London, and the Woods Hole Marine Biological Laboratories. After a postdoctoral fellowship in the laboratory of Nobel Prize winner Dr. Torsten Wiesel, he obtained an MD degree from the University of Miami School of Medicine, completed an Ophthalmology residency at Albany Medical Center, and a Retina fellowship at Mt. Sinai Medical Center in New York City. In 2005, with his wife Sally Temple, he co-founded the non-profit Neural Stem Cell Institute in Rensselaer, NY with the mission of using stem cell technologies to develop novel therapies for retina, brain and spinal cord injury and disease. Dr. Stern leads a clinical trial evaluating regenerative therapy for the blinding disease age-related macular degeneration.
Ms. Bull received her Bachelor of Science degree from The College of Saint Rose. Ms. Bull has extensive experience with product manufacturing, ELISA analysis, and managing day-to-day laboratory operations during her pursuit of her biotechnology career. She is committed to create new products that advance stem cell research. Ms. Bull is happy to answer questions about any StemCultures products.
Ms. Roberts received her Bachelor of Science degree in Biomaterials Engineering from Alfred University where she advanced her education to receive a Masters of Business Administration (MBA). With a background in both engineering and business, she participates in both technical matters and business aspects including sales and marketing. She is passionate about building partnerships and continuing company growth for StemCultures.
