Dr. Robert Lanza featured in “CELLebrity” Doctors 2011 Calendar
New Scientist selects Lanza’s work as one of “10 ideas that will shape 2013”
Revolutionary human stem cell trial If all goes to plan, 2013 should see the first human trial of “rewound” cells. These are produced by turning adult cells back to a stem cell state and then coaxing them into becoming another type of cell. It will mark a milestone in our ability to generate new tissue – and maybe whole organs – from people’s own cells.
First-Ever iPS Cell Clinical Trials
Stem-Cell Trial Without Embryo Destruction
“…the first human trial involving stem cells created by reprogramming adult cells back to an embryonic-like state. [Lanza’s company] says it wants to test blood-clotting particles, called platelets, made from such reprogrammed cells…“It doesn’t require any embryos,” said Dr. Lanza “It doesn’t require eggs. It doesn’t require any destruction of embryos.”
“This would really be a dramatic advance in medicine”
Alan Michelson, Professor, Harvard Medical School
Top U.S. scientists hang their lab coats for stem cell research fundraising efforts. The 2011 “CELLebrity” Doctors Calendar spotlights twelve highly renowned doctors in the U.S. and details the progress that has been made in their prospective medical fields. NOTE: All proceeds from calendar sales benefit SCF and will be earmarked towards funding stem cell research in the United States.

“I downloaded a digital copy of [Biocentrism] in the privacy of my home…Now, mind you, my motivation was not all that pure. It was my intention to read the book so I could more effectively refute it like a dedicated physicist was expected to. I consider myself to be firmly and exclusively entrenched in the cosmology camp embodied by the likes of Stephen Hawking, Lisa Randall, Brain Greene, and Edward Witten…The book had the completely opposite effect on me. The views that Dr. Lanza presented in this book changed my thinking in ways from which there could never be retreat. Before I had actually finished reading the book, it was abundantly obvious to me that Dr. Lanza’s writings provided me with the pieces of perspective that I had been desperately seeking. Everything I had learned and everything I thought I knew just exploded in my mind and, as possibilities first erupted and then settled down, a completely new understanding emerged. The information I had accumulated in my mind hadn’t changed, but the way I viewed it did – in a really big way.”
