Medicine by Design invests in a portfolio of large-scale, interdisciplinary research projects at the convergence of stem cell biology and engineering that push the boundaries of regenerative medicine. Here is how we are transforming the future of human health.
Use Cells as Living Therapies
Harnessing the liver’s power to regenerate
Harness the Body’s Capacity for Repair
Better outcomes in treating blindness
Create Technologies to Advance Regenerative Medicine
Advancing stem cell manufacturing technologies
Cross-cutting research makes promising strides toward clinical testing
Making more donor lungs available for transplant
Can we make lung transplants a thing of the past?
Reprogramming the brain to enable regeneration
A research team is advancing two approaches to enhance neuroplasticity in the brain to regenerate cells lost or damaged by stroke.
Designing better blood vessels
Can nanotechology prevent a silent killer?
Activating brain and muscle tissue to self-repair
Research team’s ongoing work on using stem cells to encourage brain and muscle to self-repair has celebrated successes
Better outcomes in treating blindness
An interdisciplinary team of scientists, funded by Medicine by Design, aims to use retinal stem cells to restore vision.
Harnessing the liver’s power to regenerate
Team led by pioneering stem cell scientist is one step closer to the clinic with cell-based therapies for liver disease.
Using stem cells to prevent heart failure
Medicine by Design-funded research team says the new treatment approach is not far from clinical trials. This is one of the ways Medicine by Design is transforming human health.
