Medical Consultant
Neil Theise, MD is a diagnostic liver pathologist and adult stem cell
researcher in New York City, where he is Professor of Pathology and
of Medicine at the Beth Israel Medical Center of Albert Einstein
College of Medicine. His research revised understandings of human
liver microanatomy which, in turn, led directly to identification of
possible liver stem cell niches and the marrow-to-liver regeneration
pathway. He is considered a pioneer of multi-organ adult stem cell
plasticity and has published on that topic in Science, Nature, and
Cell. Current laboratory investigations focus on nerve-stem cell
interactions in human livers, melatonin-related physiology of human
liver stem cell and regenerative processes, and aspects of human
liver stem cell activation in acute, fulminant hepatic failure.
Dr. Theise is Director of Liver Pathology at Beth Israel, responsible
for liver biopsy diagnosis of all the hospitals of the Continuum Health
Partner's Network as well as for his clinical consultation practice,
while continuing to participate in general surgical pathology
diagnostic efforts of his department several days each month. He
also continues to publish on clinical research interests which derive
from this aspect of his career.
