Dr. Pranela Rameshwar is intimately aware of the potentials of cord blood — she’s studied stem cells and cord blood at Rutgers New Jersey Medical School for over three decades. 

While her current research centers on using mesenchymal stem cells for drug delivery, Rameshwar is committed to furthering stem cell education more broadly. She’s developed a certificate program in stem cell biology and encourages a healthy skepticism of the potential clinical applications of stem cells.
