About the Author :
Ewa Carrier, MD, was born in Poland. Her medical training has been international in scope, including studies in Poland, Hungary, Italy, England, and the Unites States. Residency and research fellowships at Stanford University Medical Center, Children's Medical Center in Northern California, and the Division of Pediatric Transplant Program at the University of California San Francisco culminated in a clinical faculty position at the Department of Pediatrics at UCSF. She later moved to the University of California San Diego in 1998 to establish her own laboratory. She is currently associated with the Blood and Marrow Transplant Program at UCSD. Her laboratory is dedicated to studying the biology of stem cells and their ability to trans-differentiate and repair tissues. Dr. Carrier has developed clinical programs to transplant autoimmune diseases, such as lupus erythematosus and Crohn's disease, noting "I want to devote my life to treatment of various malignant and non-malignant diseases in the most non-toxic manner possible." Beyond her work, she has two children, a 16-year-old daughter who is a competitive diver and an 18-year-old son who plays basketball. Gracy Heiju Ledingham was born in Taichung, Taiwan. She is an International Linguistics Coordinator who lives in San Diego, California with her husband, John, and her dogs, Kookie and Jessie. Gracy was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia in 1999. She underwent chemotherapy, radiation, and a bone marrow transplant, which was performed by Dr. Ewa Carrier at University of California, San Diego Medical Center in August 1999. As of January 2003, all tests indicated that the leukemia is in full remission. She has returned to her normal activities and is once again enjoying her career as an International Logistics Coordinator as well as her beautiful garden.
