Home With the recruitment of Jörg Gerlach to the McGowan Institute for Regenerative Medicine in 2003, the Institute has established an interdisciplinary research group working on technologies for the clinical translation of tissue engineering and stem cell biology by providing biotechnology tools for cell based therapy. The group’s research focuses building bioreactors that combine synthetic components with human cells or stem cells to scale-up cell availability and create support or cell transplantation therapies. The McGowan Institute for Regenerative Medicine serves as a single base of operations for the University of Pittsburgh’s leading engineers and clinical faculty working to advance the science of tissue engineering, cellular therapies, biosurgery, artificial and biohybrid organ devices , and to effectively translate these innovative technologies into clinical practices where patients can benefit.

The images in the top bar are (left to right): mandrill (by Malene Thyssen ), stained telomeres, DNA capillary sequencing, endothelial cells, 3D structure of the ras protein, roundworm, cell undergoing mitosis, and Charles Darwin. On the main image (again from left to right): a 3D plot of microarray data, a microarray, human embryonic stem cell colonies (by Nissim Benvenisty from PLoS ), and an agarose gel (by TransControl ), all over a DNA multiple alignment.

Garage/Innovation Network | QB3
The garage is the paradigm for the Silicon Valley startup—think Apple or HP. However, real garages are not suitable for experiments in modern biology. Biotech entrepreneurs have a much harder time moving from idea to prototype, which reduces the rate of innovation. To address this challenge, QB3 created two incubators that allow very small companies access to modern laboratory space close to UC faculty. These incubators, the QB3 Garage@UCSF and the QB3 Garage@Berkeley, are the biological laboratory equivalent of garages: small spaces for entrepreneurs to lay the foundations for companies that may spearhead new industries.Hands-on lab training for non-scientists. If you've ever wanted to do a little biotech project of your own, or if you're just curious about what those genetic engineers do in the lab every day, this is the best course to start with.
Welcome to Genspace
For almost two decades, Cambia has created new biological enabling technologies, distributed, and supported these technologies globally. In 2005, we launched BioForge.net as a experimental prototype for online collaborations to improve and extend our technologies under BiOS licensing schemes. In 2008, BioForge as a web facility was re-integrated into CambiaLabs. Unfortunately, the forum discussions are no longer available.

IPA bottled. Lots of prep work, sterilizing with iodine. Kind of messy. Initially stuck wrong end of siphon in fermentation bucket. Should be ready to drink Oct 23. Monetary contributions should be put in the Sprout donation jar.

Calming Technology - Inducing cognitive, affective, and physiological calm. Tweet at #calmingtech.
You all have the right to ask me, and anybody at a university: “Hey – so you’ve taken a sabbatical from society and joined an ivory tower - tell us what you’ve learned and what you see!” And we have a duty to respond in a way that genuinely sheds light on a murky topic. So I’m using this opportunity not only to enumerate the experiments we are doing but also to give you the bigger picture as best I see it.
The Kenyon Lab studies the small roundworm C. elegans , and also cultured human cells, to identify genes, pathways and drugs that can extend lifespan. Our lab is affiliated with graduate programs in Biochemistry, Genetics, Cell Biology, Developmental Biology, and Neuroscience under the auspices of the Program in Biological Sciences (PIBS), and with the graduate program in Biomedical Sciences (BMS).

Tissue Engineering and Regenerative Medicine
Regenerative Medicine, Tissue Engineering and associated disciplines at Imperial College span many Departments in the Faculties of Medicine, Natural Science and Engineering. The Tissue Engineering and Regenerative Medicine Centre (TERM) based at Chelsea and Westminster Hospital was Imperial’s first example of a collaborative enterprise between translational biological research and Material science to stimulate new paradigms in tissue engineering. This was the pioneering enterprise of Dame Julia Polak who, although officially retired, is still active as an Emeritus Professor and has recently been elected to the Steering Committee of the UK Stem Cell Collaboration.
The MRC Centre for Regenerative Medicine (CRM) is a world leading research centre based at the University of Edinburgh . Together we study stem cells, disease and tissue repair to advance human health. Our research is aimed at developing new treatments for major diseases including cancer, heart disease, diabetes, degenerative diseases such as multiple sclerosis and Parkinson's disease, and liver failure. We also train the next generation of basic and clinical scientists and act as a centre for public engagement and source of advice for policy makers.

Institute researchers have built the first functional anal sphincters in the laboratory, suggesting a potential future treatment for both fecal and urinary incontinence.This is a £4.6 million multidisciplinary research programme between Imperial College London, University of Glasgow and Aston University that has been funded by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) to focus on the development of new technologies for understanding the causes of ageing and protein-oxidative damage.
