What We Do
A multidisciplinary institute advancing regenerative medicine through research in stem cell biology, tissue engineering, and translational therapies. IRM coordinates research and training across several centers, including the Black Family Stem Cell Institute and the Alper Center for Neural Development and Regeneration.
Focuses on understanding stem cell behavior in development, disease, and aging, and developing therapeutic cells and tissues for regenerative medicine.
Develops new therapeutics for blood disorders and cancers using human models and cell therapies.
Conducts research on epithelial tissue regeneration, disease modeling, and stem cell-based therapies for conditions such as skin and lung diseases.
Studies brain development, neurodegenerative diseases, and develops human brain tissue models for research and drug screening.
Hosts a diverse array of faculty-led labs advancing research in adult tissue stem cells, blood and immune disorders, epithelial tissue regeneration, human disease models from stem cells, and neurodevelopmental and degenerative diseases. Notable labs include the Goate Lab (dementia and addiction), Kim Lab (innate immunity and neuroimmunology), Tsankova Lab (glial proliferation in CNS disorders), Yang Lab (psychiatric and neurological disorders), and Yuan Lab (computational systems biology).
