Our Mission

To provide a University of Pittsburgh center of expertise in bioreactor R&D in regenerative medicine, focused on cell production for cell transplantation, regenerative mediator production by cells and extracorporeal use of bioreactors for organ support.

Be in the forefront of multi-compartment bioreactor technology for 3D cell culture.
• studying multiple technology platforms using molecular, cell biological, biotechnological and engineering techniques
• using bioengineering principles to develop, improve, and evolve our own technology platforms
• application driven bioreactor and perfusion system development according to cell biology needs for a given application and clinical needs for a given application

Establish strategic collaboration on cell/molecular biology aspects with other groups.
