Terence Burns, M.D., Ph.D.
Terry is a native of Australia, whose
French horn led him somewhat unexpectedly around the world and to
college in the United States. He pursued biology and biochemistry at
Columbia Union College, and earned his MD and PhD degrees at the
University of Minnesota where his research focused on stem cells and
their behavior in the ischemic brain. Terry’s most serious non-academic
pursuits include French horn and nature photography; he otherwise enjoys
almost anything to do with the outdoors, traveling, and now being back
near the Pacific Ocean.
