==Life==
Dr. Sally Temple received her B.A. from [[Cambridge University]]. She then continued her PhD education at the [[University College London]] and competed her postdoctoral fellowship at [[Columbia University]]. Her focus at this time was on optic nerve development.<ref name=":0" />.
 
Dr. Temple became a pioneer in the field of [[stem cell]] research when she discovered that the embryonic mammalian brain contained a rare stem-like cell. After this discovery, she focused on [[neural stem cellscell]]s and how they develop over time and produce progeny.<ref name=":0" />.
 
Dr. TempleShe has since been labelled as an innovator in the field of [[stem cells]], specifically [[neural stem cell]]s, which are potentially applicable in [[cell replacement therapy]] for ailments like [[spinal cord injury]] and [[neurodegeneration]]. She is the president and co-founder of StemCulture, LLC., a company created by scientists in order to create innovative products and promote scientific research.<ref name=":1" />
 
In 2010 she and John J. Nigro were recipients of the 2010 Citizen Laureate Awards. This award is meant to recognize leaders in the fields of business, industry, government, and academia.<ref name=":1">{{Cite web|title = Stem Cell Researcher Made University at Albany Citizen Laureate - University at Albany-SUNY|url = http://www.albany.edu/news/10149.php|website = www.albany.edu|accessdate = 2015-11-19}}</ref>.
 
Previously, she was a fellow of the [[Alden March Bioethics Institute]].<ref name=":3" />.
 
Temple currently is the scientific director of the [http://neuralsci.org Neural Stem Cell Institute]. She also is a faculty member for [[Albany Medical College]], [[Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute]], and [[University at Albany, SUNY|SUNY Albany]].<ref name=":3" /> Dr. Temple is married to Dr. Jeffrey Stern, a retinal surgeon, who is the other co-founder of the Regenerative Research Foundation and Neural Stem Cell Institute.<ref>{{Cite web|title = Jeffrey Stern - StemCulture|url = http://stemcultures.com/jeffrey-stern/|website = StemCulture|accessdate = 2015-11-20|language = en-US}}</ref>
== Research ==▼
Dr. Temple's current laboratory focuses primarily on neural stem cells and the development for therapies related to eye, brain, and spinal cord disorders<ref name=":0" />.▼
 
She is a member of the Editorial Board for ''[[Developmental Cell]]''.
She has made many important accomplishments in the field of neuroscience.
 
▲== Research ==
One of these accomplishments is the isolation and culturing of a progenitor cell line of glia, that indicated the number of cell divisions the cell underwent was determined by internal counting mechanisms<ref name=":3" />. This research also led to her indicating specific markers on progenitor cell lines and external signaling molecules that are involved in the maintenance of neural stem cells<ref name=":2" />. ▼

This research also led to her indicating specific markers on progenitor cell lines and external signaling molecules that are involved in the maintenance of neural stem cells.<ref name=":2" />.
Some of her other research has indicated that the limited success of embryonic stem cell transplants in neurological cases may be due to the introduction of cells at the wrong developmental stage. This may have a huge impact on neurological therapies using stem cells as a future of medicine<ref name=":2" />. ▼

This may have a huge impact on neurological therapies using stem cells as a future of medicine.<ref name=":2" />.
She has also provided evidence in her field that has shown that progenitor cells gradually lose the ability to divide. The ''[[FOXG1|Foxg1]]'' [[FOXG1|gene]] is important in this, because a reduction in it's expression results in a delay in this process<ref name=":3" />.▼

She discussed how her team has been furthering their research into culturing human retinal stem cells and the use of RPE cells in therapy for age-related [[macular degeneration]].<ref>{{Cite web|title = Sally Temple on adult RPEs for vision impairment, IND, & more - The Niche|url = https://www.ipscell.com/2015/06/sally-temple/|website = The Niche|date = 17 June 2015|accessdate = 2015-11-20|language = en-US}}</ref>
