Institute for Tissue Engineering and Regenerative Medicine, The Chinese University of Hong Kong

The Institute for Tissue Engineering and Regenerative Medicine (iTERM), under the Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK), is founded on January 13, 2016. Our Institute, with a solid background of top-ranked scientists and cutting-edge technologies, aims at integrating multiple disciplines in biomedical sciences, engineering, and clinical medicine, ultimately to facilitate and fortify the development of neuromusculoskeletal tissue engineering (TE) and regenerative medicine (RE). We envision that, the quality of life will be enhanced with the application of biomedicine in the upcoming future. With the consortium of distinguished scientists and clinicians around the world, our Institute will pitch into the research of the 4 main program areas, with a view to fostering the translational research and beefing up the clinical development of Hong Kong at full-stream: - Stem Cells and Cell-Based Therapies - Tissue Engineering for Regenerative Medicine - 3-Dimensional Microphysiological Tissue Models - Clinical Trials and Precision Medicine Under the support from the University and the Faculties of Medicine and Engineering, our Institute is well-equipped with comprehensive infrastructure and core facilities, which lay a solid foundation for our team to start a new chapter in the study of TE and RM. We will make every endeavor to advance and translate multidisciplinary scientific knowledge into clinical trials and product development, through various cross-disciplinary collaborations between our Principal Investigators and the faculty members from different academic departments upon the accrued valuable research experiences.
