Giant Leap for C21st medicine

21st century medicine

World-leading research into Regenerative Medicine pioneered at The University of Nottingham by our Head of School, Professor Kevin Shakesheff, has taken a step closer to creating a new kind of healthcare industry.

An £8.3 million Centre for Innovative Manufacturing is to be set up to develop the products and systems that will allow doctors and clinicians to administer new regenerative treatments for chronic disease and age-related health problems.

Regenerative Medicine uses groundbreaking therapies like stem cell treatment and tissue engineering, with pharmaceutical therapies and surgical techniques involving new medical devices. It is creating new treatments to allow damaged, diseased or defective tissues to work normally again. Now the research is at the stage where a bespoke manufacturing and translational research arm is vitally needed to develop the products and techniques that are being pioneered.
