Dr. Jeff Gross has humble roots. He grew up in a small town in Ohio. He was one of four students at the high school level to earn a summer research position at the NIH/Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences. He is one of the youngest researches to ever have published medical research in his name. He turned down MIT, Johns Hopkins, and other prestigious institution to enroll at Berkeley, where he studied under Nobel Prize winning professors in Biochemistry, Molecular Biology, and Nuclear Chemistry, including his honors project at the Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory under Darleane Hoffman, Ph.D. His professors included Bruce and Giovanna Ames, Allan Wilson, Randy Schekman, Daniel Koshland, Jr., Robert Tijan, Alexander Pines, Trudy Forte, Jasper Rine, Sung-Hou Kim, Gunther Stent, Monica Johnstone, and Glenn Seaborg. At Berkeley, Dr. Gross was awarded the Kraft Scholarship.
Dr. Gross matriculated in medical school at the George Washington University in Washington, D.C., where he participated in virology research. His work on nested PCR is now used for improving the diagnosis of viral infections, most notably Covid -19. He trained at busy trauma centers and veterans hospitals, and completed the most prestigious fellowship in spinal biomechanics under Ed Benzel, M.D. Dr. Gross has authored super-numerous book chapters, scientific abstracts, peer-reviewed medical journal articles, and given oral presentations at national medical meetings. He has written across various scientific and medical topics, bridging the fields of clinical medicine, neuroscience, biomedical optics, artificial neural networks (artificial intelligence), and regenerative stem cell medicine. More recently, he has been an invited author for stem cell textbooks, and is presently working on an informational stem cell book for all readers.
His research resume includes landmark work in the area of the diagnostic use of lasers in brain tissue. His publication concerning the optical properties of living brain tissue has been cited nearly 500 times. Dr. Gross has written successful NIH grants and multiple approved Institutional Review Board protocols. Dr. Gross is proud to have treated thousands of patients with neurosurgical problems and injuries, and he has successfully treated 95% of those without surgery. He maintains an active practice of neurosurgery with a focus on the spine. He performs many second opinions and helps to find ways of helping his patients as a consultant, to delay or avoid surgery by seeking all possible alternative options first, including stem cell and other regenerative approaches. Patients visit him from international locations, and also remotely by telehealth. Dr. Gross also helps patients who have already had unsuccessful surgery elsewhere. In the last two decades, Dr. Gross has not billed Medicare or Medicaid for any patient care, preferring to focus his charitable efforts on patient care. He has given back over $100,000,000.00 in patient care. Dr. Gross is a controvertible champion in his fight against health insurance fraud and abuse for patients facing administrative denials while in need of medical services.
Dr. Gross is the sole author of the spine chapter of the medical textbook on regenerative stem cell medicine, published in the summer of 2022, and is currently in press with another. He is actively involved in publishing academic medical journal articles. He is an invited lecturer to the Biohacking World Summit, the Biohacking Congress, RAADfest, the Healthspan Summit, the American College of Rehabilitative Medicine, the Congress of Neurological Surgery, and Dave Asprey’s Biohacking Conferences. He provides precision medicine consultations for anti-aging, biohacking, and regenerative stem cell, peptide, and exosome medicine. He is known as the Stem Cell Whisperer.
