GTEC Celebrates Success - Renews Commitment to Regenerative Medicine

Georgia Tech and Emory Celebrate Success and Renew Their Commitment to Regenerative Medicine

January 13, 2009. The Georgia Tech Emory Center for the Engineering of Living Tissues (GTEC), a National Science Foundation Engineering Research Center, celebrated its tenth year of innovative research. When founded in 1998, GTEC's focus was on replacing tissues or growing cell-based substitutes outside the body for implantation into the body. As GTEC has evolved over the last decade, its approach has broadened from a focus on tissue engineering to one that includes tissue regeneration.

Now, a decade after the $25 million National Science Foundation award, GTEC is internationally recognized for its strengths and novel applications in the emerging field of Regenerative Medicine. The center
