Areas of Research
The SJTRI Center for Regenerative Medicine is focused on developing cell-based therapeutics for a variety of applications. Using bone marrow derived stem cells or fully differentiated skin cells taken from the patient, we have active research programs focused primarily on cardiovascular repair (hemodialysis access, lower limb revascularization, coronary bypass, endarterectomy repair etc.) and pediatric congenital defect repair (heart valves and reconstruction of the great vessels of the heart). Already our scientists have transitioned to human use in some of these applications.
