Human Stem Cell Manual: A Laboratory Guide, Third Edition is a comprehensive compilation of "methods that work" for deriving, characterizing, and differentiating hPSCs, written by the researchers who developed and tested the methods and use them every day in their laboratories. The manual is much more than a collection of recipes; it is an extraordinary laboratory guide for both experienced stem cell research and those just beginning to use stem cells in their work. The editors chose a range of subjects that are critical to stem cell research worldwide and provide introductions for each chapter which discuss the importance of the information in the broad context of stem cell biology. Also included are chapters on the legal and ethical issues that affect stem cell research and researchers. Cross references in each chapter guide the reader to other chapters that may be of interest and emphasize the interrelatedness of the information in the book as a whole. New coverage includes disease modelling, drug development, and other cell therapy applications. The manual is written by foremost experts from around the world for anyone doing research in the field of stem cell biology.

Suzanne Peterson received her doctoral degree from USC and immediately moved back to her home town of San Diego to pursue her Post-Doctoral work. A long-time member and the only native San Diegan of the Loring Laboratory at Scripps Research Institute, this summer Dr. Peterson followed her mentor Dr. Loring to Aspen Neuroscience and will serve as a senior scientist in the new founded lab. Her specialty is hematopoietic stem cells and she will continue to serve as co-editor of Human Stem Cell Manual: A Laboratory Guide with Dr. Jeanne Loring. Jeanne Loring is a world renown stem cell biologist, developmental neurobiologist, and geneticist. Dr. Loring's 3+ decades have spanned embryology and neurobiology, gene editing and stem cells, ultimately landing in regenerative medicine. Her decades of experience ranges from biotech, to pharma to bioscience and of course academia. She was the director for the Center for Regenerative Medicine and professor at Scripps Research Institute in La Jolla, CA for 12+ years. In June 2019 she founded Aspen Neuroscience, in La Jolla, where she and her staff will continue her work in regenerative medicine for those with currently untreatable neurological diseases. Their first target is a patient-specific neuron replacement therapy for Parkinson's disease. She will continue as Professor Emeritus and remains on the faculty of Scripps Research Institute. Dr. Loring has received numerous awards and accolades, including the 2015 Stem Cell Action Advocacy Award and 2015 Stem Cell Person of the Year.
