Dr. Susan Lim champions Adult Stem Cell Research

While others were focused on embryonic stem cells, Dr. Susan Lim quietly focused her attention on adult stem cells. The less controversial, likely more reliable, adult stem cells allowed Dr. Lim to make steady progress in her research into applications of adult stem cell research. This is just one example of the innovation and leadership that has defined Dr. Susan Lim’s life. She’s not content to just fall back on her clinical success, but has headed back to the laboratory to help champion adult stem cell research. Dr. Susan Lim’s vision has guided her from the time she was seven when she dedicated herself to her studies in order to, in her own words, “change the world.”

Dr. Susan Lim’s Thoughtful Approach To Stem Cell Research

And change the world, she has. Thanks in part to her early efforts in researching adult stem cells, Dr. Susan Lim, can be credited with starting the adult stem cell research laboratory at the National University of Singapore . Dr. Susan Lim first focused on using adult stem cells as potential cell replacement therapy in two areas of clinical interest to her, chronic liver disease and diabetes. If the body is capable of repairing itself after injury even as adults, then, Dr. Lim reasoned, stem cells must continue to exist and function in adults. And on this premise, scientists around the world, including Dr Susan Lim have been inspired to research into adult stem cells.
