Conference Establishes Pittsburgh as Major Life Science Region
According to an article in the Pittsburgh Business Times, Pittsburgh is about to get some international recognition for the work being done here in Regenerative Medicine.
The Tissue Engineering and Regenerative Medicine International Society ( TERMIS ) will hold it's first ever World Congress in Pittsburgh next month, positioning the region as a global leader in the field.
TERMIS' first president is Alan Russell. Russell is director of The McGowan Institute for Regenerative Medicine, a Pittsburgh institute who's mission includes the development of innovative clinical protocols as well as the pursuit of rapid commercial transfer of its technologies related to regenerative medicine.
The McGowan Institute defines Regenerative Medicine as an emerging field that approaches the repair or replacement of tissues and organs by incorporating the use of cells, genes or other biological building blocks along with bioengineered materials and technologies.
It has become clear over the past few years, that Pittsburgh is once again becoming a global industrial powerhouse. However, this time the industries that we are building are in the biomedical, robotics and advanced material industries. Pittsburgher's should be proud that such advanced sciences have made their homes in our region.
It should not come as a surprise that the great innovations of the 21st century are coming from our region. Pittsburgh's core work ethic and desire to be great have always put us at the cutting edge of industrial innovation. It is only the industries that change.
