He joined Children’s Hospital and the Stem Cell and Regenerative Biology Department at Harvard University in 2009.

The funding has allowed us to put together an all-star team. These are really amazing people all over the world, from Seattle to the UK to Boston, and it wouldn't have been possible otherwise.
