About Edward W Scott

Fun Fact: The Scott lab has an ongoing salsa making competition for over 20 years. Scientifically the lab seeks to develop novel Regenerative Medicine approaches to enhance the body’s natural wound healing abilities. We focus on the role of stem cells and the immune system in regulating this natural process in order to reduce or eliminate debilitating results such as scarification. We also study immune function errors such as autoimmunity and cancers of stem cells such as acute myeloid leukemia, colon cancer and glioblastoma. We work to better understand genetic and metabolic pathways involved in both good and bad outcomes to identify novel therapeutic targets. The lab uses a wide variety of in vitro and in vivo model systems from cell lines in tissue culture to axolotl (regeneration champs) and mouse modeling. Potential targets from our models are confirmed using actual patient samples with the help of clinical collaborators. We also collaborate to bring our basic science findings to patients with multiple patents issued and collaborative trials for novel drugs, cell therapies and medical devices all translated to the clinic.
