The Platform brings together nearly 40 of the leading players in regenerative medicine from across 16 different universities, creating a critical mass of expertise and knowledge. Together they are tackling the major bottlenecks of regenerative medicine to unlock its vast potential and transform healthcare as we know it today.

The Platform comprises of three interdisciplinary and complementary research Hubs. Each Hub has its own broad but distinctive focus, dedicated research team and connections to commercial and clinical end-users. Collectively, they provide a central source of expertise and knowledge – generating new tools, protocols and resources that can be utilised by other research groups in both academia and industry. See an overview of our research hubs here.
