Regenerative Medicine
Our regenerative medicine research involves bio-engineering and discovering ways to cure disease by re-growing tissues and organs.
Our researchers formulated a new medicine with regenerative potential in veterinary and human markets and launched Rapamycin Holdings.
Our research on tissue re-growth could revolutionize transplantation needs for patients around the world.
Clinical trial participation is an invaluable way to contribute to the pursuit of new treatments. Take action today...volunteer and play a role in finding new treatments.
