Regenerative Biology and Medicine is a rapidly developing field that will have a substantial impact on the life and health sciences in the 21st century.


Regenerative Biology is the study of the mechanisms by which organisms regenerate tissues naturally.

Regenerative Medicine is the application of this knowledge to regenerate tissues that do not regenerate naturally, or which are so badly damaged that natural mechanisms of regeneration fail to restore them.

The Center for Regenerative Biology and Medicine conducts basic and clinical research to enable the development of therapies that reconstitute damaged tissues, organs and appendages through the use of stem cells, bioartificial tissues and the pharmaceutical induction of regeneration from the body’s own tissues.
