Professor David M. Gardiner is a regeneration biologist in the Department of Developmental and Cell Biology, and the Associate Dean for Academic Affairs for the Biological Sciences School. Professor Gardiner has spent his career at UCI working to identify the molecular signals necessary for limb regeneration.

Former UCI postdoctoral fellow Dr. Kristine Freude recently visited the university to present her latest work. Now an Associate Professor in the Group of Stem Cells and Embryology in the Institute of Clinical Veterinary and Animal Sciences at the University of Copenhagen, Dr. Freude was one of the first recipients of a California Institute of Regenerative Medicine (CIRM) training grant, awarded to train graduate students and postdoctoral fellows in stem cell biology and regenerative medicine.

Recognizing the critical role that innovation also plays, the Biological Sciences School was the first school to create the Associate Dean for Research and Innovation position, which has been filled by Professor Brandon S. Gaut.
