Regenerative Medicine

Obiettivo

Regenerative medicine is critical to the future success of modern medicine and involves using the body's own stem cells and growth factors to repair organs, tissues, and cells. This new discipline is essential if we are to be able to repair tissues damaged in common chronic diseases such as diabetes, arthritis or Alzheimer's disease. Regenerative medicine involves new and ground breaking technologies such as stimulating tissue regeneration in situ, grafting of stem cells to bring about repair, transdifferentiation of one tissue type into another, and creating functional tissues and organs by tissue engineering.

The Bath Centre for Regenerative Medicine (BCRM), founded at the University of Bath, UK in 2003, is an interdisciplinary and collaborative research network within the University. The BCRM is unique in Europe in the range of expertise and technology that it brings together in an interdisciplinary and cross-faculty collaboration. The BCRM will comprise eleven group leaders by October 2006 including a clinical interface. Fellows will be exposed to the full range of modern intellectual concepts and technical approaches that underpin this growing research area.

The Centre will provide for each Fellow a high-level research training environment with state-of-the-art facilities, international quality researchers, visiting speakers from throughout the world, opportunities to go to national and international meetings, and training in both specific skills related to their research project and complementary skills that have already been adopted across the University as essential components of research postgraduate training. In terms of the relation between science and society, regenerative medicine highlights many of the key issues: e.g. stem cell research, transplantation surgery and animal experimentation. It is of paramount importance that junior researchers are familiar with these issues and can contribute to the social dialogue in an informed way.
