UCSB Snags Father of Stem-Cell Research (The Santa Barbara Independent)

Jamie Thomson, the reputed â??father of stem-cell research,â? will soon be operating a research lab in Santa Barbara as an adjunct professor at UCSB. Thomson will be in Santa Barbara about one month per year, leading an interdisciplinary team of about four postdoctoral researchers. The bulk of his work will remain centered at the University of Wisconsin at Madison, where he remains a tenured senior faculty member.
