Abstract

The aim of the IRC in Tissue Engineering: Cellular and Molecular Approaches is to create a centre of excellence for the delivery and application of basic science advances in cell biology, developmental and matrix biology, genetic engineering, biomaterial science and medical engineering to open up new strategies for tissue engineering solutions to clinical problems. This will be achieved in three major clinical programmes in Skin/Wound Healing, Cartilage/Disc Repair and Vascular Tissue Engineering, which will be underpinned by core generic technology programmes in haemodynamics, bioactive supporting matrices, biocompatibility, angiogenesis, inflammation and gene transfer. With this plan the IRC will aim to become a dynamic focus for innovation in tissue engineering within the UK and beyond.
