James Sherley graduated from Harvard College (1980) and completed joint M.D./Ph.D. degrees at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine (1988). After post-doctoral studies at Princeton University, beginning in 1991 he led cancer cell molecular biology research at Fox Chase Cancer Center. In 1998, he began adult stem cell research at Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and in 2007 continued at Boston Biomedical Research Institute. In 2013, he founded Asymmetrex, LLC (previously the Adult Stem Cell Technology Center, LLC), which he currently directs. Asymmetrex develops technologies for stem cell medicine, including mass-producing tissue stem cells for applications in drug development and regenerative medicine.
