From skinned knees to broken bones, our bodies are capable of repairing themselves under certain circumstances. But what if the principles of regeneration and engineering could be applied to treat a broad range of diseases? Regenerative medicine does just that, going beyond disease management to discover therapies to heal tissues and organs and restore the body to a state of well-being. Researchers are investing significant time and money towards technologies such as organ printing and tirelessly working towards translating these therapies to the clinic.

Our goal is to:

• Enlighten listeners about what tissue engineering and regenerative medicine is.
• Discuss exciting approaches in tissue engineering, such as organ printing.
• Enlighten listeners where the field stands in terms of translating to the clinic.
