Hometown: Peterborough, Ontario, Canada

I am an Associate Professor of Cell and Regenerative Biology. I got my PhD from the University of Toronto, Canada, in Molecular Genetics. I moved to Boston to train as a postdoctoral fellow studying blood stem cells in zebrafish. I started my lab at the University of Illinois at Chicago and moved my lab to UW-Madison in 2020.

Prof. Tamplin prefers in-person talks only.

Talks:

Stem Cells and Regenerative Medicine: Real Therapies or Just Hype

We will explore what stem cells are, what they can and can’t do, and how to distinguish between fact and fiction.

Zebrafish as a Powerful Research Tool

We will talk about how this humble freshwater pet store fish can be used to solve difficult problems in science and medicine.
