- Summer School on Regenerative Medicine and Molecular Therapy
- BRFAA, Athens, Greece
- 21-09-2013 to 30-09-2013
We would like to invite you to the Summer School on
Regenerative Medicine and Molecular Therapy, to be
held 21-30 September 2013, in Athens, Greece
(Biomedical Research Foundation).
Regenerative medicine is the process of creating
living, functional tissues to repair or replace tissue or
organ function lost due to age, disease, damage, or
congenital defects. This field holds the promise of
regenerating damaged tissues and organs in the body
by stimulating previously irreparable organs to heal
themselves. Regenerative medicine also empowers
scientists to grow tissues and organs in the laboratory
and safely implant them when the body cannot heal
itself. Importantly, regenerative medicine has the
potential to solve the problem of the shortage of
organs available through donation compared to the
number of patients that require life-saving organ
transplantation.(U.S.A. NIH Fact Sheets, Regenerative
Medicine, n.d.. Available from:
