Tissue Engineering & Regenerative Medicine Research Program
The Tissue Engineering and Regenerative Medicine Program supports basic and translational research on employing bioengineering- and stem cell biology- based approaches for the reconstruction, repair, and regeneration of dental, oral, and craniofacial (DOC) tissues damaged because of disease or injury. The goal of this program is to advance engineering of biocompatible DOC tissue constructs and their functional integration into the host tissue microenvironment, and to support efforts aimed at healing and regeneration of endogenous host tissues.
