Programs offered by the Center for Advanced Regenerative Engineering (CARE)
Regenerative Engineering Training Program (RE-Training)
The Re-Training program is a convergence research predoctoral training program that aims to offer an integrated curriculum, industrial, and clinical experiences at the intersection of materials science, stem cell and developmental biology, physical sciences, and translational medicine.
The Competition for Undergraduate Regenerative Engineering (CURE) Club (for students):
This is a student-run organization whose mission is to challenge the innovation and technical skills of student interdisciplinary teams to tackle medical problems or challenges using regenerative engineering solutions.
Research Experience and Mentoring (REM) Summer Research Program:
This eight week Research Experience and Mentoring (REM) summer research program is offered to six students who work as researchers at the Center for Advance Regenerative Engineering to contribute to the EFRI project.
The vision of the EFRI project is to integrate nanoscale optical imaging, cell and molecular biology, physics, and advanced materials science to identify strategies that regulate chromatin supranucleosomal structure to enhance the adaptive potential of eukaryotic cells and help induce cellular stemness, with the ultimate goal of facilitating tissue regeneration and function. The overall goal of this EFRI project in support of this vision is to develop new concepts and tools for enhancing cellular plasticity by examining the role of chromatin structure as a regulator of non-replicative cell adaptability through the exploration of the transcriptional landscape.
