New Director of HCTO Named
We are pleased to announce the hiring of Kuo-Chan Weng, PhD, as the new Director of our Human Cells, Tissues, and Organoids Core. KC brings 10 years of experience working with human pluripotent stem cells. We are grateful to our former Director, Mariana Beltcheva, PhD, for many years of dedicated service.
Research
Our research draws on the expertise of faculty from basic science, engineering, and clinical departments to understand how to capitalize on the regenerative capabilities of the human body and recreate these processes ex vivo.
Training
Regenerative medicine faculty are mentors for PhD students from several programs in the Division of Biology and Biomedical Sciences. Our center also provides postdoctoral training:
