Elliot B. Lander, M.D. F.A.C.S. is a Board-Certified Surgeon. He was born in Los Angeles, California. He graduated Magna Cum Laude and Phi Beta Kappa from Occidental College with Distinction in Biochemistry. He attended medical school at the University of California, Irvine. For six years after medical school, Dr. Lander studied General Surgery and then Urologic Surgery at the University of California, Irvine. He was a Clinical Assistant Professor of Urology at the same UC Irvine while in practice in Orange County for five years. During that time he was active in teaching residents and doing research.

Dr. Lander has been elected as a Fellow of the American College of Surgeons. He has served as Chief of Urology at Eisenhower Medical Center and Chief of Surgery at John F. Kennedy Hospital. Dr. Lander has been on staff at Eisenhower Medical Center for twenty years. He is also an Expert Reviewer in Urology for the California Medical Board. Dr. Lander is also doing clinical research on liposome encapsulated agents for the treatment of interstitial cystitis and is founder of Nanologix Research Inc. Additional areas of special focus also include focal treatment of prostate cancer and regenerative urology with emphasis on Peyronies Disease and erectile dysfunction. Also, one area of very special interest includes the study of the use of stem cells in developing cancer vaccines.

Dr. Lander is currently involved in cutting edge translational stem cell treatment research at the California Stem Cell Treatment Center based in Rancho mirage and Beverly Hills. Dr. Lander is also co-founder of Cells On Ice® which is a cryobanking stem cell technology company. He is a founding member of the International Cell Surgical Society, a nonprofit organization dedicated to research and education regarding the medical use of adult stem cells. Dr. Lander and his team of multispecialty experts were instrumental in bringing fat derived stem cell technology to the United States in 2010 and have pioneered several new techniques in regenerative medicine. Dr. Lander is co-founder of Cell Surgical Network, an international research network dedicated to developing cell surgical techniques studying the clinical applications of adipose derived stem cells and growth factors. Research affiliate physicians trained by the Cell Surgical Network team can be found in many U.S. cities and all around the world. The Cell Surgical Network organization oversees an online regenerative medicine database to track clinical outcomes and adverse events from stem cell treatment centers all over the globe. Dr. Lander is co-author of The Stem Cell Revolution, a popular book on regenerative medicine.
