Preserving Stem Cells: Regenerative Medicine
An amazing story of stem cells, regenerative medicine and healing power:
Huge gains in tissue regeneration are happening now. Adult stem cells are used in these groundbreaking procedures and are the foundation for many more in trials today. National Geographic's EXPLORER expands on "the science of tissue engineering and shows how scientists are beginning to harness the body's natural powers to grow skin, muscle, body parts and vital organs, even hearts..."

BBC Horizon 2010 Miracle Cure A Decade of the Human Genome ¦ 720p HD [1/4]
A decade ago, scientists announced that they had produced the first draft of the human genome, the 3.6 billion letters of our genetic code. It was seen as one of the greatest scientific achievements of our age, a breakthrough that would usher in a new age of medicine. A decade later, Horizon finds out how close we are to developing the life-changing treatments that were hoped for.

Cures through Collaboration: Funding a Team Approach to Disease Research
Both the Guthy-Jackson Charitable Foundation (GJCF) and the California Institute for Regenerative Medicine (CIRM) share a similar vision for funding a team approach to disease research. When Victoria Jackson's daughter, Ali, was diagnosed with NMO - a rare incurable disease that can lead to blindness, paralysis and even death - Jackson created the GJCF and insisted that funded researchers share their data and collaborate towards finding a cure. Similarly, CIRM has established the Disease Teams Therapy Development Awards that require actively managed multidisciplinary teams to engage in milestone driven research for the development of stem cell-based therapies

Genetic Modification
This was a video that I created as part of a USDA grant to explain GMOs to the American consumer. As an added bonus due to budgetary constraints I also did the voice over on this segment.
