From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Neil D. Theise (born 1959 in Connecticut) is a professor of pathology at the New York University Grossman School of Medicine[1] and a researcher on the topics of adult stem cell plasticity and the anatomy of the human interstitium. He is the author of the PEN America Award long-listed book[2] Notes on Complexity: A Scientific Theory of Connection, Consciousness, and Being.[3] He was the Lead Scientist at Pop Test LLC & Palisades Therapeutics LLC for 15 years.[4]

Biography

[edit]

Neil Theise received a B.A and a B.A.S from the University of Pennsylvania in 1981[5] and an M.D. from Columbia University, College of Physicians and Surgeons in 1986.[6]

He, along with his co-authors, published a study in 2018 in Scientific Reports that detailed the interstitium as a potential new organ in the human body.[7]

His 2023 book, Notes on Complexity, introduces complexity theory - the science of how complex systems behave[8] - and delves into a holistic exploration of human existence and the universe-wide network of connectivity.[9]
