Regenerative Medicine: Multidisciplinary Collaborators Stretching from the Bench to the Bedside

The faculty for The Regenerative Medicine Program is comprised of investigators located throughout the UNMC campus. These Researchers and Physicians make an impact every day in the area of regenerative medicine. They are found in multiple departments with different focuses, techniques, and methods, all working towards the same goal – providing hope where once there was none. Our scientists represent an award-winning group of experts examining regeneration in bones, hearts, and eyes – just about anywhere in the body you can think of. They also represent all phases of science, from the basics of how regeneration works from a cellular level, to how regeneration can play a role in clinical care.
