Welcome
to the Institute for Regenerative Medicine (IRM)
The Penn Institute for Regenerative Medicine was established in 2007 by President Amy Gutmann and Provost Ronald Daniels to promote discoveries in stem cell biology and regeneration and to translate these discoveries into new therapies to alleviate suffering and disease, and to encourage and advance education, public discourse and debate as it relates to stem cell and regeneration biology.
