Learn More About CARE
Housed within the McCormick School of Engineering and Applied Science, the Center for Advanced Regenerative Engineering (CARE) is a targeted initiative led by Prof. Guillermo Ameer that integrates and supports research, technology development, and clinical expertise to improve the outcome of tissue and organ repair and regeneration for adult and pediatric patients. CARE is a partnership that includes Northwestern University's Feinberg School of Medicine, the University of Chicago's Pritzker School of Medicine, the Shirley Ryan AbilityLab, the Ann and Robert H. Lurie Children’s Hospital of Chicago, the International Institute for Nanotechnology, and various companies interested in the implementation of regenerative medicine.
Research at CARE aims to regenerate or reconstruct the following tissues and organs through the convergence of advanced materials science, stem cell and developmental biology, physical sciences, and translational medicine:
Bone Liver
Pancreas Kidney
Bladder Blood Vessels
Skin Ligaments
Heart Ovary
Cartilage
Translational Grants
Convergence Awards
Internships and Sabbaticals
The Regenerative Engineering Club
Product Development
The Center’s faculty spans various disciplines from the McCormick School of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Weinberg College of Arts and Sciences, Feinberg School of Medicine, The Ann and Robert H. Lurie Children’s Hospital of Chicago, the University of Chicago Pritzker School of Medicine, and the Shirley Ryan AbilityLab.
