Marie Csete简介

Marie Csete joined CIRM as Chief Scientific Officer in 2008. In this role she will support the science team in promoting the translation of stem cell biology to the clinic.

 

Prior to CIRM, she directed liver transplant anesthesiology teams at UCSF, UCLA, Michigan and Emory University in Atlanta. She has a long-standing clinical and research interest in the care of liver transplant patients. Most recently she was the John E. Steinhaus Professor of Anesthesiology at Emory and started the Emory/GaTech human embryonic stem cell core facility, and co-director of Emory’s MD/PhD program. Her lab work was focused on the role of the environment (particularly physiologic gases) in directing stem cell fate. Dr. Csete is a member of the United Network of Organ Sharing Ethics Committee, and serves on several editorial boards.

 

Marie received an AB in Music from Princeton, MD from Columbia University’s College of Physicians and Surgeons, and her PhD in developmental biology from the California Institute of Technology.

原文：Turmoil at California Stem Cell Institute

This month has been tumultuous for the California Institute for Regenerative Medicine. Marie Csete, the $3 billion operation's chief scientific officer, has resigned after little more than a year, reports Consumer Watchdog.

 

Csete, who came to CIRM in March 2008, will leave at the end of July. Her brief letter to the board offers no explanation or indication of future plans.

 

Csete's announcement comes less than 2 weeks after board chairman Robert Klein told the board that he will be leaving next year at the end of his 6-year term. The move was unexpected because Klein had previously indicated that he was there for the long haul.
