Carsten Charlesworth, PhD, is a postdoctoral researcher at Stanford School of Medicine in the Institute for Stem Cell Biology and Regenerative Medicine. His work sits at the intersection of stem cell engineering, developmental biology, gene delivery, and organogenesis, with a focus on technologies that could expand access to transplantable tissues and organs. He is particularly interested in ethically bounded biological systems, including non-conscious developmental models, and in the application of genetic engineering to make regenerative medicine more scalable, ethical, and clinically translatable.
