Sean Berman - Stem Cells / Director of Research and Operations at Cell Surgical Network

Sean Berman is Director of Operations and Scientific Research at Cell Surgical Network in Beverly Hills, California. He earned his Master’s in Cell/Cellular and Molecular Biology at Louisiana Tech University and his undergraduate degree at Amherst College. A former college football player, he has advanced research in the use of stem cells in the treatment of traumatic brain injury.

The future is now on this episode of Beyond the O.R., which features Dr. Kevin Brenner in conversation with a young scientist on the cutting edge of stem cell therapy. You’ll meet Sean Berman, Director of Operations and Research at Cell Surgical Network, whose passion for this area of practice was inspired by the combination of his father – a longtime plastic surgeon in Beverly Hills – and his experience as a college football player troubled by the limited treatments available for concussion. He is explaining how stem cells can be deployed as powerful regenerative agents capable of finding and targeting trouble spots throughout our bodies. A burgeoning area of medical innovation, clinical results are promising when it comes to healing anything from worn out joints to inflammatory disease to traumatic brain injuries. But stem cell treatments are not without controversy, which is why Sean and his team at Cell Surgical Network recently went to court to defend their work against FDA interference – a battle they won on the way to establishing the use case and scientific facts behind the work they are doing.
