Petit Institute for Bioengineering and Bioscience at Georgia Tech in 2013 by hosting its annual North American Conference in Atlanta. \u003Cbr \/\u003E \u003Cbr \/\u003ETwo members of the Petit Institute\u2019s faculty have been designated to head the 2013 TERMIS conference. The conference chair will be Robert E. Guldberg, Ph.D., the director of the Petit Institute and professor in mechanical engineering and the program chair will be Todd McDevitt, PhD, associate professor in biomedical engineering and the director of the Stem Cell Engineering Center at Georgia Tech. \u003Cbr \/\u003E \u003Cbr \/\u003E\u201cWe are honored to be selected and look forward to putting on a great meeting,\u201d Guldberg said. TERMIS brings together an international community to promote discussion of the scientific challenges and therapeutic benefits for the development and application of the tissue engineering and regenerative medicine fields. TERMIS\u2019 mission is to promote worldwide science and technology advancement and education in these fields. It does so through regular worldwide conferences, publishing the Tissue Engineering journal that it endorses and providing quarterly newsletters and other communications for its members. \u003Cbr \/\u003E \u003Cbr \/\u003E\u201cBob and I are dedicated to creating a dynamic program that will honor the meetings of the past as well as introduce some new elements,\u201d McDevitt remarked. TERMIS has been evolving over the last decade. Its roots began in 2001 as an annual workshop called \u201cTissue Growth Engineering\u201d that was organized by the Pittsburgh Tissue Engineering Initiative. In 2004, this small workshop evolved into the larger, national meeting called Regenerate. In 2006, the Regenerate World Congress was held in Pittsburgh where the meeting had grown significantly and had a large international following. By the following year, the society was rebranded into TERMIS to encompass its international presence. The society has continued to grow and now has chapters in Europe and Asia. TERMIS is open to anyone engaged in research in the tissue engineering or regenerative medicine arenas. \u003Cbr \/\u003E \u003Cbr \/\u003EThe 2011 TERMIS North American conference was held in Houston, Texas and in 2012 the entire society will come together for the TERMIS World Congress in Vienna, Austria.\u003C\/p\u003E","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003EThe Tissue Engineering and Regenerative Medicine International Society (TERMIS) will partner with the Institute for Bioengineering and Bioscience (IBB) at Georgia Tech in 2013 by hosting its annual North American Conference in Atlanta.\u003C\/p\u003E","format":"limited_html"}],"field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"Georgia Tech and TERMIS Partner for 2013 Annual Meeting"}],"uid":"27224","created_gmt":"2011-01-14 01:00:00","changed_gmt":"2016-10-08 03:08:06","author":"Megan McDevitt","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","dateline":{"date":"2011-01-18T00:00:00-05:00","iso_date":"2011-01-18T00:00:00-05:00","tz":"America\/New_York"},"extras":[],"hg_media":{"64111":{"id":"64111","type":"image","title":"TERMIS","body":null,"created":"1449176720","gmt_created":"2015-12-03 21:05:20","changed":"1475894559","gmt_changed":"2016-10-08 02:42:39","alt":"TERMIS","file":{"fid":"191940","name":"termis_logo_1.jpg","image_path":"\/sites\/default\/files\/images\/termis_logo_1_0.jpg","image_full_path":"http:\/\/hg.gatech.edu\/\/sites\/default\/files\/images\/termis_logo_1_0.jpg","mime":"image\/jpeg","size":127070,"path_740":"http:\/\/hg.gatech.edu\/sites\/default\/files\/styles\/740xx_scale\/public\/images\/termis_logo_1_0.jpg?itok=YoEAw4rr"}}},"media_ids":["64111"],"related_links":[{"url":"http:\/\/ibb.gatech.edu\/","title":"Parker H.
