Regenerative Medicine
The University of Edinburgh's Scottish Centre for Regenerative Medicine is the latest addition to the College of Medicine and Veterinary Medicine's twelve research centres and is made up of world-class researchers with expertise in the field of stem cell research.
Headed up by Professor Ian Wilmut FRS, the Centre is focused on the development of medical therapies for the treatment of diseases such as cancer, liver disease, Parkinson's disease, diabetes and spinal cord injury. The Centre collaborates extensively with key Scottish players in stem cells and will also house Roslin Cells, a new partnership that will create hSC lines for research The mission of the Centre is to develop new treatments for human disease through innovative research with stem cells.

The Centre brings together existing, high achieving groups working in the stem cell and tissue regeneration fields at the University of Edinburgh in a single highly interactive unit, creating the largest UK grouping of researchers in this area. Uniquely in the UK, the Centre will cover a spectrum of research - from basic mechanisms of stem cell regulation, and translational research that will provide a rigorous platform for stem cell therapies to clinical trials with stem cells and their derivatives.

As the new Centre for Biomedical Research development progresses, the Centre for Regenerative Medicine will move to a purpose-built facility on that site adjacent to other research facilities of the Medical School and the NHS Lothian Royal Infirmary and linked commercial investment premises.

The Centre for Regenerative Medicine is uniquely positioned to meet the challenges of the future in stem cell research. Research expertise encompasses embryonic, foetal and adult tissue stem cells, of human and animal origin. With 22 independent research groups, the Centre constitutes a unique grouping of stem cell researchers working within an effective regulatory framework and supportive society for the innovative work we carry out.

Key Points
The largest grouping of stem cell researchers in the UK
Building on existing renowned expertise at the University of Edinburgh in the field of regenerative medicine
Purpose-built facility on the Centre for Biomedical Research site that will also include GMP-grade facility for development of hSC lines
On-site business development team that can act as gateway to research expertise
