The Regenerative Medecine Axis of the CHU of Quebec (Laval university) was created in 2012 and regroup 25 researchers (20 reg ... ular, 5 associates), 20 clinical collaborators, and 4 Canada Research Chairs (CRC), as well as numerous students (masters, phD students, postdoctorates and intern). It brings together different approaches in regenerative medicine and allows the convergence of technological platforms. Numerous collaborations took place between the researchers of the Research Center for Experimental Organogenesis at Laval University (LOEX) and the Multidisciplinary Center for Tissue Engineering Development (CMDGT) at the Hôpital de l'Enfant-Jésus, as well as with the University Center of Ophthalmology (CUO) at the Hôpital du Saint-Sacrement and the Biotechnology and Bioengineering Unit of the Hôpital de Saint-François d'Assise. The Regenerative Medicine axis provides real support to the clinic by proposing innovative solutions, making full use of the potential of regenerative medicine. The Axis includes three major research themes that aim to understand the physiological, physiopathological and molecular mechanisms of regeneration, and to develop therapies for repair, replacement and regeneration of tissues and organs. Axis themes are: 1- Biomaterials, prostheses and implants 2- Tissue engineering and stem cells 3- Vision health In addition to this research, the Axis promotes scientific exchanges and regularly organizes conferences and scientific activities. A student committee of the Regenerative Medicine Axis was formed in 2018 and helps to set up various scientific and social events. read more
