Course Description
Regenerative medicine is a multidisciplinary field developing next-generation therapies that aim to augment and repair tissues to restore normal function. It is a cutting-edge area on the frontiers of science which is poised to transform clinical practice by providing meaningful solutions to chronic and degenerative diseases such as Diabetes and Parkinson's disease. These solutions may concern direct tissue replacement via stem cells, indirect mechanisms to ameliorate disease or enhance intrinsic tissue repair, or the development of gene-based, pharmaceutical and other treatments. The purpose of this course is to provide a basic grounding in the principles and applications of regenerative medicine and provide students an opportunity to learn about this exciting field.
