About Dr. Ware
Dr. Ware’s Ph.D. training was in the animal sciences focused on reproductive endocrinology and embryology. She has been studying inner cell mass derived pluripotent stem cells since 1988. Currently, her primary research involves pluripotent stem cells through understanding the stages encompassing mammalian pluripotency. As such, she is the Director of the Ellison Stem Cell Core of the Institute for Stem Cell and Regenerative Medicine (ISCRM) at South Lake Union. https://iscrm.uw.edu/research/core-resources/tom-sue-ellison-stem-cell-core/. Teaching responsibilities include CONJ 530, Directing Stem Cells Toward Regenerative Medicine and organization of ISCRM seminar series. She serves on several Ph.D. candidate committees and is a member of the Department of Oral Health Sciences Graduate Fellowship Committee. She is an Adjunct Professor in the UW Dept. of Oral Health Sciences.
