Dr. White is considered a leading expert in the field of aging and regenerative medicine with 20 years’ experience working with stem cells, regenerative cells and tissue regeneration. Dr. White received his BS and MS from Liverpool University, England prior to being hired at Dartmouth college to study the genetics of gamete biology. From there Dr. White was recruited to Harvard University to work with hematopoietic stem cells (HSC) and immune cell biology under the mentorship of the world-renowned Dr. Laurie Glimcher, where he co-authored several high impact peer-reviewed scientific manuscripts on the subject. Dr. White went on to receive his Ph.D. from the Ansary Stem Cell Institute, Division of Regenerative Medicine at Cornell University under the guidance of Dr. Shahin Rafii. Since his Ph.D. Dr. White spent some time in the embryonic stem cell (ESC) laboratory of Dr. Stephen Dalton, who’s pioneering work led to the inclusion of c-myc as one of the 4 factors used by Nobel award winning Dr. Shinya Yamanaka in the generation of induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs).
Subsequently, Dr. White relocated to the Interdisciplinary Stem Cell Institute at the University of Miami’s Miller School of Medicine. Dr. White published ground-breaking research in the field of regenerative medicine alongside Dr. Joshua Hare, including a book chapter on the use of Mesenchymal Signaling Cells (MSCs) in Cardiology. In 2015 Dr. White’s work on the regeneration of the heart was featured on the cover of Circulation Research, one of the top peer-reviewed journals for cardiovascular medicine in the world. In 2016 Dr. White was honored with an award for the “Best Manuscript” by the American Heart Association for his work highlighting the role of peripheral nerves in cardiac regeneration. In 2018 Dr. White joined with IMAC Regeneration Centers as their Chief Scientific Officer to take them public on NASDAQ. Dr. White currently sits as the president and CSO of NeoBiosis, LLC a perinatal regenerative tissue research and manufacturing CDMO facility in Gainesville, FL, and is a founding member of the board of directors for The American College of Regenerative Medicine.
