  My scientific career has been devoted to fundamental research directed at developing cellular technologies that can contribute to the establishment of regenerative medicine capabilities. In my early time, I studied how to use endothelial progenitors mobilized from the bone marrow for tissue repair. I found that mobilized progenitors were generally low in functionalities and difficult to grow, thus impractical to collect in sufficient numbers to meet regenerative capacity of repairing damaged endothelium. Therefore, I began exploring how to use embryonic stem cells as an alternative source of cells for preclinical studies in regenerative medicine in 2009. In collaboration with stem cell biologists, we were able to generate putative angioblasts that potentially differentiated into endothelium. In 2012, I received Voelcker Fund for three years; we wanted to demonstrate the feasibility of using primate embryonic derived stem cells as therapeutic agents and to develop in vivo primate models for preclinical stem cell regenerative therapy. In 2104, I received William and Ella Owens Foundation for the development of implantable blood conduit using cells derived from baboon embryonic stem cells. In 2015, we transplanted human ESC-derived progenitors in four baboons in areas where an experimental injury was made. We observed the complete engraftment and vigorous growth by the transplanted cells. The outgrowth tissues are elastic and rigid; contain significant amount capillary vessels and extracellular matrix. My research is to develop, standardize, and validate the procedures for progenitor production, for the purposes of either cell transplantation or biomedical engineering application. Although our R&D focus on nonhuman primates, our mission is to translate the final results to the clinic.
