Goldrusher, what is your motive? You bash people here saying they haven't done any DD. Where is your DD? It doesn't seem like you have looked below the surface yourself. So, you must think the Nugene Team listed below are just part of a scam?
The Team
Sanjay Dhar, Ph.D.
Executive Director of Research and Development
Dr. Sanjay Dhar was Founding Director of Center for Tissue Engineering & Regenerative Medicine at Aesthetic & Plastic Surgery Institute, University of California, Irvine. He is one of the world’s most outstanding scientists and a foremost leader in adipose derived stem cells research.
Obtaining an M.S. & M.Phil., from University of Kashmir India, and Ph.D. from Indian Veterinary Research Institute, India; he went on to be a Visiting Fellow at Center for Biologics Evaluation & Research, Food & Drug Administration, (CBER/FDA, Bethesda. MD) followed by being a Visiting Sr. Associate at New England Medical Center (New England Medical Center, Boston). He joined Institute for Molecular Medicine as a Research Scientist for a brief stint but his passion for research brought him to University of California, Irvine where he joined as a Professional Researcher in the Division of Plastic Surgery and built its research program. After the establishment of Aesthetic & Plastic Institute at UCI, he became the Director of the Research for the institute wherein he started various research programs focused on peripheral nerve regeneration, and bone & cartilage regeneration
using growth factors and adipose derived stem cells.
He was a part of the team which showed that adipose derived stem cells can be differentiated into bone and cartilage and these differentiated cells along with prefabricated biodegradable polymers can be used for the treatment of bone and cartilage defects. He also developed a model of delivering nerve growth factor to the severely injured peripheral nerves for its recovery, regeneration and regaining of the function. He owns various patents for his pioneering work in these areas of research. He has vast experience in the area of stem cell research, translational sciences and its therapies.
Dr. Dhar organized and Co-chaired the 4th California Tissue Engineering Meeting and is a life member of various international societies, has published numerous papers in peer reviewed journals and has presented his work a number of conferences. He has delivered guest lectures here and abroad and is recipient of numerous awards for his pioneering work. Besides his interest in research, he has imparted research trainings and mentored about fifty students in the area of tissue engineering. His academic interest has also led him to be a member of School Site Council at Irvine Unified School District.
