Stone Memorial Award. He is currently a board member of the Research Foundation to Cure Aids, a member of the Scientific Advisory Council Pershing Square Sohn Cancer Research Alliance, a member of the Postdoctoral Awards Review Committee at The Rockefeller University, and the director of the Tri-Institutional (Memorial Sloan Kettering, Cornell Medical School, and The Rockefeller University)

Heidi Cook-Andersen, M.D., Ph.D., is an assistant professor at the University of California, San Diego, with appointments in both the Department of Obstetrics, Gynecology, and Reproductive Sciences and the Division of Biological Sciences. Her laboratory combines interests developed during her basic science training in molecular biology and clinical training in reproductive endocrinology and infertility to understand the molecular mechanisms that underlie oocyte and embryo developmental competence in mammals.

His lab found that radial glial cells are neuronal stem cells in the developing brain and identified a second type of precursor cell produced by radial glial cells that is responsible for generating specific neuronal subtypes. He has recently begun to characterize the progenitor cells within the developing human brain, where he discovered a novel radial glia subtype that contributes to

She was a postdoctoral fellow in the laboratory of Kevin Eggan at Harvard University where she gained experience working with human and mouse pluripotent stem cells and focused on understanding human embryogenesis and the regulation of pluripotency. She then moved to the University of Cambridge as a Centre for Trophoblast Research Next Generation Fellow at the Anne McLaren Laboratory for Regenerative Medicine where she continued to investigate the molecular basis of early cell fate decisions in humans and mice.

His was among the first laboratories to describe the generation of induced pluripotent stem cells from an ungulate species, the pig, and it has recently been generating iPS cell lines from human umbilical cords to study preeclampsia.
