McGowan Institute for Regenerative Medicine

Welcome to the McGowan Institute for Regenerative Medicine

What is Regenerative Medicine?

Regenerative medicine uses clinical procedures to repair or replace damaged or diseased tissue and organs vs. some of the traditional therapies that are designed to just treat the symptoms. This emerging field uses tissues engineering, stem cell research, medical devices, or combinations of these technologies to address disease and illness. As a pioneer in regenerative medicine, the McGowan Institute develops and transfers science to innovative clinical protocols and pursues rapid commercialization of its technologies related to regenerative medicine.
