About the Advanced Regenerative Manufacturing Institute
Our mission is to advance the bioeconomy of the United States. The Institute’s work will positively impact not only manufacturing but also healthcare and education and workforce development for the nation.
Manufacturing scalability, process and partnership.
There are 400,000 people worldwide right now on waiting lists for organs. What if we could create lungs, livers or corneas at scale? It would be unprecedented.
Our goal is to move highly specialized regenerative medicine – engineering or regenerating human cells, tissues and organs – from lab to production to cure diseases and improve quality of life.
