Peter W. Andrews, BSc, DPhil, MBA

University of Sheffield, UK

Peter Andrews is Emeritus Professor of Biomedical Science in the University of Sheffield. His pioneering study of pluripotent human embryonal carcinoma cells paved the way for the study of human embryonic stem cells, demonstrating their differences from corresponding mouse cells and identifying cell surface antigens now widely used for their characterization. He discovered their propensity for non-random genetic changes driven by the altered expression of specific genes, with implications for applications in regenerative medicine. His current interest is the use of pluripotent stem cell-derived neural crest derivatives for treating gut disorders. He led the International Stem Cell Initiative, to develop standards for research with pluripotent stem cells. He co-chaired, with Tenneille Ludwig, the ISSCR’s working group on Standards for Stem Cell Research, published in 2023.
