The Wake Forest Institute for Regenerative Medicine has joined with a university hospital in Korea to help accelerate development of regenerative therapies to benefit patients.
The Kyungpook National University and its hospital, located in Daegu in the Republic of Korea, have joined together with the Joint Institute of Regenerative Medicine Korea. The facility, with 35 scientists, officially opened last week.
The Wake Forest institute will share some of its core technologies with the joint institute, and the two groups will develop an academic training program for faculty members and students. The two institutes will also collaborate on clinical studies of regenerative medicine therapies.
“This partnership offers the potential to speed scientific development and make advances in regenerative medicine available to patients around the world,” said Dr. Anthony Atala, director of Wake Forest’s institute.
