David Stachura

Scientist focused on using stem cells to treat disease
I have extensive experience in studying a variety of adult stem cell types in zebrafish, mice, and humans. A former professor, I now lead a local biotechnology company as we develop treatments for human wounds. I also consult for several companies to help them achieve their business goals. With these skills, I have collaboratively published a multitude of manuscripts, reviews, and book chapters. I have also led teams of people to achieve important, impactful goals as they pertain to competitive grants and business development.
