The Power of Regenerative Medicine
Regenerative medicine uses science and engineering to repair or replace damaged tissues and organs. This talk will focus on how the National Science Foundation Regenerative Medicine Engine of North Carolina is improving human health while enhancing the economic development of our state by training a workforce to obtain high paying jobs in this field. The presenters will also discuss the role WSSU plays through partnering with other institutions and the new requirement of extending from the Piedmont region to the entire state of North Carolina.
