An International Leader in Regenerative Medicine

The Wake Forest Institute for Regenerative Medicine (WFIRM) is a leader in translating scientific discovery into clinical therapies.

Physicians and scientists at WFIRM were the first in the world to engineer laboratory-grown organs that were successfully implanted into humans. Today, this interdisciplinary team is working to engineer more than 30 different replacement tissues and organs and to develop healing cell therapies-all with the goal to cure, rather than merely treat, disease.

Regenerative medicine has been called the "next evolution of medical treatments," by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. With its potential to heal, this new field of science is expected to revolutionize health care.

"We have many challenges to meet, but are optimistic about the ability of the field to have a significant impact on human health. We believe regenerative medicine promises to be one of the most pervasive influences on public health in the modern era."- Anthony Atala, MD, Director

Why is public education on regenerative medicine important?Watch the videos below from leaders in the field of regenerative medicine to get this answer and learn more.The Regenerative Medicine Network is a newly formed collaboration between the Regenerative Medicine Foundation and MDTV Inc. The network will be a digital information and education hub available to the public through participating web portals such as the Wake Forest Institute for Regenerative Medicine.
