Regenerative Medicine and Brain Repair

Dr. Philip Peplow is Biomedical Scientist. Philip obtained his doctoral degree in Carbohydrate Chemistry from the University of Birmingham, England. He worked as Research Fellow for four years in the Anatomy Department, Medical School, University of Birmingham, England, and was awarded a Ford Foundation Fellowship to work at the renowned C.S. Mott Center for Human Growth and Development, Wayne State University, Detroit, USA. After one year of working there, he gained an academic position in the Human Morphology Unit, Flinders Medical School, Adelaide, South Australia, where he taught 2nd and 3rd Year medical students for three years, and then in the Anatomy Department, Otago Medical School, Dunedin, New Zealand, where he continued his research interests as well as teaching 2nd, 3rd, and 5th Year medical students for 38 years.Dr. Bridget Martinez is Medical Doctor as well as Scientist. Bridget has obtained two doctoral degrees, a M.D. and a Ph.D.  in the field of Quantitative and Systems Biology and Comparative Physiology with an emphasis in Endocrinology. Bridget is an extensively published author with results from her studies having impactful biomedical implications, to date she has published over 50 peer-reviewed publications! In addition, she has published and edited four medical books which strive to provide comprehensive scientific knowledge in various biomedical fields in publishing groups such as Springer Nature and the Royal Society of Chemistry, as Editor, Author, and Artist, with her art pieces featured on the cover of Springer Nature. Her most current book identifies prognostic biomarkers for disease, as well as evaluates translational value from clinical trials. Professor Thomas A Gennarelli attended Northwestern University before graduating cum laude from Loyola Stritch Medical School in 1968. He interned in surgery at Rush University and then began a training journey that took him to Harvard for a neurology fellowship before serving as a commissioned officer in the US Public Health Service. It was during this time when he was stationed at NIH that his interest in neurotrauma and neuroscience began. Devoted to better understanding how mechanical energy disturbed the function of nervous tissue and brain physiology, he continued his NIH lab while undertaking a neurological surgery residency at Georgetown University.
