Teach the body to repair itself
Medicine by Design is harnessing the game-changing field of regenerative medicine to move health care into the future.

Imagine if we could regrow damaged heart muscles or replace diseased tissues with new ones that resist infections or cancer. This is the promise of regenerative medicine, an approach that is transforming the way we treat many of the most urgent and intractable health problems. Regenerative medicine is the future.
When I started this work almost 30 years ago, I never thought that you could take a cell, make a billion heart cells in a dish and treat somebody with them. But it’s not that far away now.
