Research


The University of Florida Center for Regenerative Medicine will expand and integrate cell-based regenerative medicine therapeutics into standard-of-care practices by facilitating transition from pre-clinical regenerative medicine research into clinical trials and ultimately developing a service line of novel life-changing therapies.

Leveraging the university’s strength in engineering, biology, and veterinary medicine will help to develop useful products and approaches including tissue-on-a-chip platforms, cell-based diagnostics, and cell-based therapeutics.  The center will create guideline-recommended practical strategies to ameliorate injury in diseases affecting multiple organs, including the heart, blood and blood vessels, muscle, lungs, brain, nerves, joints, and transplanted and traumatized tissues.
