Who We Are

Mission

The National Center for Regenerative Medicine (NCRM) is a platform to facilitate translational research, clinical application, and commercialization of regenerative medicine, tissue engineering, and stem cell therapeutics across a consortium of institutions. NCRM is driven by three nationally ranked medical research powerhouses—Case Western Reserve University, Cleveland Clinic, MetroHealth Medical Center, and University Hospitals. Through this network of researchers and clinicians, research discoveries are actively being translated into cell-based therapies for patient care.

Vision

The National Center for Regenerative Medicine establishes Northeast Ohio as a global leader in regenerative medicine and cellular therapy. By advancing stem cell research, gene and lentiviral vector design, cellular manufacturing, and clinical trials; and by building strong partnerships with academic and biotechnology leaders worldwide.
