view labAbout Me
Seth Thompson has been involved in biomedical research for over 15 years in the areas of infectious disease, immunology, and regenerative medicine. Seth previously worked at the University of Pittsburgh and came to the Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago to work with Dr. Mitra Lavasani on investigating novel cellular therapeutics for neuronal injuries and degenerative diseases. He completed his PhD at Northwestern University in the Interdepartmental Neuroscience (NUIN) program researching novel systemic treatments to simultaneously rejuvenate multiple neuromusculoskeletal tissues in naturally aged mice. As a Research Scientist in the Translational Cell Therapy Lab, his current research focuses on investigating the application of adult human stem cells and their therapeutic secreted factors to improve neuromuscular function in mouse models of aging. Furthermore, he assesses host and donor mechanisms that support tissue regeneration and behavioral phenotypic changes.
