Dr. Carlos E. Reyes III is an American physician best known for his contributions to the Bone Marrow Stem Cell Technology theory.

Education
Born July 1, 1993 in Northampton, Massachusetts, he attended the Campus School at Smith College until sixth grade. He skipped both middle and high school and attended Harvard College for three years, graduating with a Bachelor's of Biomedical Engineering. He later attended Colombia University Medical School graduating in 2008 with an Medical Degree in immunology. During his years at Harvard, Reyes studied gene therapy alongside Dr.Jay Levy, concluding that the regulation of spliceosomes in rabbits displaying autosomal trisomy could prevent nondisjunction in the offspring of these organisms.

Medicine
In early 2007 Reyes switched his studies, studying exons and their effects on the inhibition of oncogenes in the cell. In 2009 Reyes received the Biotechnological Development Award (BDA) for his progress in synthesizing artificial CCR5 delta32 in bone marrow. He is also known for his work on spliceosomes and snRNPs in the treatment of pancreatic cancer.

Philanthropy
Reyes was known for his generous donations to the American Heart Association as well as the National Cancer Institute.

Controversy
In mid 2009 Dr. Andrew Weil criticized Reyes' methods of spiceosome therapy as "Extremely risky" and "Reckless" however Reyes' practice rebutted saying that these methods were only given as an option to terminally ill patients. Many leading physicians claim that Reyes' Philanthropy is not out of good will but rather he is promoting his own cause. The Fallon Medical Clinic has openly criticized Reyes for using Embryonic Stem Cells in his cancer research.
