What is regenerative medicine?

Regenerative medicine is an interdisciplinary field that integrates engineering and life science principles to develop and deliver therapies that heal, regrow or replace damaged or diseased cells and tissues due to aging, disease, or defects. Regenerative medicine represents the next revolution in medicine, using the body’s own machinery to heal and repair, and creates hope for previously incurable diseases. To date, the strategies for treating diseased or traumatized tissue and organs have been limited, producing outcomes that provide symptomatic relief at the expense of the loftier goal of complete repair or remission of disease. The scientific and clinical efforts with regenerative medicine go beyond symptomatic relief and disease management, generating novel and effective new therapies to aid the body in restoring and repairing itself to improve patient quality of life.

Regenerative medicine will help shape the future of healthcare by relying on the body’s innate healing ability to promote regeneration, providing faster healing and recovery time, reduced need for medications, less invasive procedures, and potentially eliminate the need for surgery.

Developing Regenerative Medicine Therapies

Navigating the product development pathway from the bench to the clinic depends on a variety of knowledge, skills, and experiences. Regenerative medicine companies are becoming more and more reliant on contract research organizations (CROs) to augment their own scientific expertise, reduce development expenses, quicken time to market, and deal with the complexities of cell, gene, and tissue-based therapies.

Product development in the regenerative medicine space demands comprehensive, customized solutions. CROs that offer integrated services can be the one-stop shop that optimizes efficiency thorough the entire therapy development process. Drawing on teams with extensive scientific, regulatory, clinical and commercial experience enables us to effectively address client critical needs, meet project expectations, and drive innovation with the candidate therapeutic product.

The following diagram illustrates our conceptualization of the product development pathway for a regenerative medicine product. We aim to form effective partnerships with clients, leveraging our broad based services to accelerate product development.

Our regenerative medicine services primarily focus on the early stages of product development, helping sponsors move a product from early concept to a successful IND submission and then to early clinical evaluation. Our development services aim to reduce time, cost, complexity, and ultimately risk for sponsors at each project milestone or phase.
