Pittsburgh SIP 2009 Interns + Mentors The Longitudinal Outcomes from Annual Undergraduate Program Are Impressive: Twenty-five undergraduate students from colleges and universities, primarily across southwestern Pennsylvania and the Pittsburgh region, have been selected to participate in the 13th Annual Summer Internship Program of the Pittsburgh Tissue Engineering Initiative. The goal of the program is to expose greatly increased numbers of underserved students to growing opportunities in science, technology, engineering, and mathematic related fields across the Pittsburgh region within the highly interdisciplinary field of tissue engineering and regenerative medicine (TERM). The program exposes 2-year and 4-year institute undergraduate students to biomedical research within the cutting-edge field of TERM. Undergraduate students are provided real world experience as they learn more about the wonders and, ultimately, applications of TERM as they work alongside our region’s top-notch TERM researchers and clinicians.

AFIRM Postdoctoral Fellowship Program

AFIRM logo The Wake Forest-Pittsburgh Consortium (WFPC) of the Armed Forces Institute for Regenerative Medicine (AFIRM) invites applicants to its Postdoctoral Fellowship Program for fellowship positions in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine research (TERM). This new, federally funded $85 million program led, in part, by the McGowan Institute for Regenerative Medicine (MIRM) and the Wake Forest Institute for Regenerative Medicine (WFIRM), is made up of the US Army Institute of Surgical Research, and a national consortium of institutions. This massive project is dedicated to repairing battlefield injuries through regenerative medicine -- science that develops biological tissue substitutes to restore or replace damaged tissue and organs.

Two positions are currently available in the Burn Repair focus area: "In situ bio-printing of the skin for burn injury" and "Stem cells for engineering living skin equivalents." Both 2-3 year positions are located at Wake Forest Institute for Regenerative Medicine, Winston-Salem, NC. Interested applicants should apply as soon as possible. Read more…
