Emory/Georgia Tech Regenerative Engineering and Medicine Center Award Seed Grants
Grants focus on how the body harnesses its own potential to heal or regenerate following trauma or disease.
By Abby Robinson The Emory/Georgia Tech Regenerative Engineering and Medicine Center recently awarded 11 seed grants, totaling $630,000, for promising new research in regenerative medicine. The seed grants focus on how the body—including bone, muscle, nerves, blood vessels and tissues—can harness its own potential to heal or regenerate following trauma or disease. “We looked for projects along the innovation spectrum, including early-stage projects for which the potential payoffs justified taking the risk and projects supported by preliminary data that were at an advanced preclinical or early clinical stage,” Regenerative Engineering and Medicine Center Co-Director Robert Guldberg, a mechanical engineering professor at Georgia Tech, said …

Way cool. Good to know they are recognizing and working with the body's potential to heal itself. I wonder, will they also explore the healing (and other) potential of resonance and vibrational frequencies? more ›
