a. Stem Cell Science and Stem Cell Therapies - Understanding what stem cells are, what do they do, what are the different types, where do they come from and what are current and possible uses. and application of stem cells in regenerative medicine.
b. Gene Therapy - Exploring how genetic material can be used to treat or prevent diseases.
c. 3D Bioprinting Technology and other Enabling Technologies - Learning about technologies used to develop tissues and organs such as 3D printing, the use of bioreactors, imaging technologies, etc.
d. Tissue Engineering -The approach of combining biomaterials, cells and growth factors to assemble fully functional tissues and organs to restore, maintain or improve damaged tissues or whole organs.
e. Organ Regeneration - Investigating methods to regenerate damaged organs and reduce the need for transplants
f. Cellular Therapies - Delving into treatments that use living cells to repair or replace damaged tissues.
g. Biomaterials and Scaffolding - Understanding the different types of biomaterials (natural and synthetic) to be used alone to support growth of new tissues/healing or in combination with cells (tissue engineering approach)
h. Clinical Trials and Case Studies - Examining real-world applications, success stories in regenerative medicine and the regulatory and clinical trial process.
i. Ethical and Policy Considerations - Discussing the ethical implications and policy challenges in the field.
j. Educational Pathways and Careers in Regenerative Medicine – What type of educational training/degrees are needed and what types of careers?
k. Regenerative Medicine and Space - Research in low earth gravity can stimulate advancements in the regenerative medicine field and offers opportunities in disease modeling, stem cell derived products and biofabrication of regenerative medicine products
