Louis R Coffman

Louis (“Louie”) Coffman is the Chief Operating Officer of the Sanford Consortium for Regenerative Medicine. Louie began his career in public accounting and commercial finance. Thirty years ago, he transitioned to the nonprofit sector. Since then, he has helped to organize and operate several independent research institutes which include the Sanford Burnham Prebys Medical Discovery Institute (La Jolla, CA), the Institute for Systems Biology (Seattle, WA), the Center for Infectious Disease Research (“Center”) (Seattle, WA) and the Sanford Consortium for Regenerative Medicine, which now serves as the Chief Operating Officer

He and his wife of 35 years, Kathy, live on Bainbridge Island, WA with two Olde English Sheep dogs; are Mom and Dad to two sons, Ian, and Taylor. He enjoys music and reads a lot. He used to run and cycle…a lot, he completed the LA Marathon and the bicycle Team Race Across America…20 years ago. Since then, he has ‘lost’ ‘some’ fitness. But ‘relentlessly curious’, continues to look for it every day!
