At the McGowan Institute for Regenerative Medicine, we envision a future where the boundaries of healing are redefined—where science, engineering, and medicine converge to restore form and function to damaged tissues and organs. As a global leader in regenerative medicine, we are committed to pioneering transformative solutions that address the most complex challenges in tissue repair and chronic wound healing.
Our interdisciplinary community of faculty members—spanning the University of Pittsburgh and collaborating institutions in academia, industry, and government—drives innovation across the full spectrum of regenerative technologies. From in vivo tissue reprogramming and cellular therapies to advanced biomaterials, medical devices, and molecular biology, we pursue breakthroughs that not only advance scientific understanding but also translate into real-world impact.
Guided by a mission to improve patient outcomes and elevate quality of life, we strive to accelerate the discovery, development, and deployment of regenerative therapies. Through bold inquiry, collaborative excellence, and a relentless focus on societal benefit, the McGowan Institute is shaping the future of medicine—one regenerative solution at a time.
