David L Stocum is Emeritus Professor of Biology and Emeritus Dean of the School of Science at Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis. He holds undergraduate degrees in Biology and Psychology from Susquehanna University, a MS in Zoology from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and a PhD in Cell and Developmental Biology from the University of Pennsylvania. He pursued an active research and teaching career in the School of Life Sciences at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign for 21 years, where he also served administrative terms as Director of the Honors Biology Program and Acting Head of Anatomical Sciences. Subsequently he served as Dean of the School of Science at Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis for fifteen years, and then another ten years as Professor in the Department of Biology, during which he also held an appointment as Affiliate and Research Scholar in the Regeneration Theme of the Carl Woese Institute for Genomic Biology at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign. Dr. Stocum is known for his research on the regeneration of amphibian limbs, and for his writings on the general subject of regenerative biology and medicine.

Summary:Regenerative biology and medicine is a rapidly developing field that can revolutionize medicine. It is a nexus of convergent science, drawing from chemistry, physics, mathematics and bioengineering. Foundations of Regenerative Biology and Medicine introduces the essentials of regenerative biology and medicine to advanced undergraduates and beginning graduate students, as well as students and professionals outside the field who need (and want) an introduction to the subject. This relatively short ten chapter book can be read in one semester and delivers the essential framework to understand the biological aspects of different mechanisms of regeneration and the therapeutic strategies that have emerged from this biology.
Target Audience:Advanced undergraduate biology majors, beginning biology graduate students, chemistry, physics or bioengineering students.
