Regenerative Medicine Strategies for Tissue and Organ Replacement
** watch future Linda Hall Library lectures live at new.livestream.com/lindahall ** The Science of Longevity, a Linda Hall Library Foundation Colloquium October 2-3, 2015, in the Linda Hall Library Main Reading Room About the lecture: Dr. Stephen Badylak’s laboratory is a highly interdisciplinary environment, focusing on the development of regenerative medicine strategies for tissue and organ replacement. The central and most important objective of all projects is clinical translation and improved patient care. Most projects involve the combined efforts of life scientists, biomedical engineers, physicians, veterinarians, and a strong technical support staff. Active research projects include whole organ engineering with emphasis upon liver and lung. The speaker: Dr. Stephen Badylak is a Professor in the Department of Surgery and Deputy Director of the McGowan Institute for Regenerative Medicine in Pittsburg, PA, Director of the Center for Preclinical Testing, and directs a laboratory focused upon the use of biologic scaffolds composed of extracellular matrix (ECM) to facilitate functional tissue regeneration. Dr. Badylak is the immediate President-past of the Tissue Engineering and Regenerative Medicine International Society, the author of more than 275 peer reviewed publications, and holds more than 50 issued U.S. patents and 300 patents worldwide.
