Advancing the Regenerative Medicine Industry


Through network building and focused events, such as the annual TERMIS NA 2007 Conference and Exhibition, PTEI unites industry and academic interests with government initiatives to advance regenerative therapies and deliver them more rapidly to the marketplace.

Funding

PTEI forms work groups of researchers from industry and academia to address some of the most complex problems of regenerative medicine, and secures and disperses research funding through partnerships with such federal agencies as NIH, and the Departments of Defense, Education and Energy. More than $13 million has been awarded to date.

Advocacy

PTEI educates policy makers at the federal and state levels about the potential for regenerative medicine to ease human suffering, reduce health care costs and spur economic growth, thereby helping to increase and sustain support for research and technology development. 

Support for Regional Companies

PTEI works closely with regional economic development groups, helping to identify, recruit and support the transition of new companies to Southwestern Pennsylvania.

Workforce Development

PTEI promotes the training of next-generation clinicians, scientists and technical personnel through award winning, vertically integrated education and workforce development programs and partnerships.
