Medical Consultant
Neil Theise, MD is a diagnostic liver pathologist and adult stem cell
researcher in New York City, where he is Professor of Pathology and
of Medicine. His research revised understandings of human liver
microanatomy which, in turn, led directly to identification of possible
liver stem cell niches and the marrow-to-liver regeneration pathway.
He is considered a pioneer of multi-organ adult stem cell plasticity
and has published on that topic in Science, Nature, and Cell. Current
laboratory investigations focus on nerve-stem cell interactions in
human livers, melatonin-related physiology of human liver stem cell
and regenerative processes, and aspects of human liver stem cell
activation in acute, fulminant hepatic failure.
Dr. Theise is Director of Liver Pathology at a major New York
hospital, responsible for liver biopsy diagnosis of all the hospitals of
the Continuum Health Partner's Network as well as for his clinical
consultation practice, while continuing to participate in general
surgical pathology diagnostic efforts of his department several days
each month. He also continues to publish on clinical research
interests which derive from this aspect of his career.
