“For the last year and a half, I have worked in undergraduate research where I explored the role of genes implicated in neurodegeneration and their effect on planarian regeneration. This work aimed to characterize their expression patterns, effect on motor function, brain and body regeneration. My project is now looking at their effect on stem…

“As a current undergraduate researcher at the Zeltner Lab, I have been exposed to many projects that are the cornerstone for regenerative medicine. Among these, one project that has captured my deep interest is the development of a 3D-printed adrenal gland organoid. This model aims to replicate the structure and function of a human adrenal…

“Regenerative Bioscience can be applied to a wide variety of medical innovation. From TBI, Volumetric muscle loss, fertility issues and degenerative disease Regen could serve as the answer. Being submersed into the critical thinking of regen bio has expanded the way I think of all subject areas. I see areas of improvement, why things are…

“From what I’ve learned, regenerative bioscience is truly the future of healthcare and medicine as it represents a shift from treating symptoms to potentially curing diseases at their root. I remember learning about several of these regenerative technologies (stem cell therapies, gene editing, tissue engineering, etc.) in my AP biology class in high school and…

Madelyn G. Richter, (RBC Peroni Lab) worked to improve her understanding of veterinary medicine on a global scale. As expressed by Madelyn, “In Peru, I participated in a veterinary internship, where our team provided veterinary care to communities that otherwise lack access to veterinary services. This experience taught me the importance of adaptability and the…

Traumatic Brain InjuryThere are no current treatments for TBI, and to find one would help so many people, especially young children. So to me, regenerative bioscience is important because it can help to treat things like traumatic brain injuries, which have no current treatment.

New Discovery Scientific research is important because we can use it to gain an understanding of this world, this universe, and how to improve humanity. If there is one thing that I learned this past year, it is that medicine does not have all of the answers, but that it is ever expanding. Regenerative bioscience…

Through research, the team is able to revisit past findings, revise current theories and hypothesize new ideas, thus growing science as a whole. The applications of scientific approach are just as important as the intellectual gains: from drug therapies and cancer treatments to developing prosthetics and surgical techniques, scientific research is constantly reshaping the medical…
