Education = Future
Central to PTEI’s mission is development of educational models and programs to grow the intellectual capacity required to support the growing field of regenerative medicine.

PTEI’s educational programs provide a range of experiences and tools for those who are interested in science education. 

Beginning with K-12 and continuing through undergraduate and postdoctoral research, PTEI is helping to prepare a trained workforce to support a growing regenerative medicine industry. Through its programs PTEI provides hands-on opportunities to explore the many educational and career paths available to next-generation scientists and those who will work with them.
