Mayo Clinic believes that regenerative medicine will be a vital component of the medical and surgical practice in the coming years. By harnessing the potential of regenerative medicine, Mayo Clinic is poised to create new models of health care to transform medicine and surgery. A unique aspect of the Center for Regenerative Medicine is that its activities are not just laboratory based or clinic based, they’re both! Efforts in each of the center’s programs, which build on Mayo’s extensive research resources and clinical practice, span the full spectrum of discovery science, translational research and clinical application. In addition to developing regenerative medicine therapies for patients, the center is also committed to training the next generation of clinicians and scientists, offering continuing education opportunities to Mayo Clinic faculty and staff and educating patients and the public about the promise of and latest advances in regenerative medicine. Ultimately, this comprehensive approach means that the Center for Regenerative Medicine has the ability to turn promising laboratory discoveries into proven treatments — and make them available to patients — more effectively and efficiently than most anywhere else.
