Regenerative Medicine

Regenerative Medicine is a broad field that includes tissue engineering but also incorporates research on self-healing or self-repair where the body uses its own systems or with the help of foreign biological material to recreate cells and reconstruct into tissues and organs. Though significant progress has been created within the tissue engineering field, several challenges remain and any development in this area would require on-going interactions and collaborations among the scientists from multiple disciplines, and in partnership with the regulatory and therefore the funding agencies. Because of the medical and market potential, there's important academic and corporate interest during this technology.
