Regenerative Medicine
Regenerative medicine (RM) is a new medical approach that seeks to restore both structure and function of tissues lost to injury, disease or congenital defects. This field incorporates use of stem cells, proteins that stimulate healing, and engineered biomaterials to help cure diseases from diabetes to osteoarthritis. Regenerative strategies are modeled on mechanisms drawn from embryonic development and naturally-occurring examples of regeneration. This field represents a paradigm shift in biology, medicine and biomedical engineering. Ethical and societal impacts need to be considered as this rapidly expanding technology is developed. Furthermore, the swift translation of these technologies to the clinical realm provokes a need for both public policy considerations and practical feasibility from a business perspective. Leaders in RM must have training, understanding and interactions across diverse disciplines. The Regenerative Medicine Interdisciplinary Graduate Education Program (IGEP) team aims to produce leaders in RM by training students in the broad complexities inherent to the field, beyond expertise gained in their specific disciplines. The IGEP will be among the first programs of its kind to equip students with a broad-based, graduate-level education in the field of RM.

Regenerative Medicine
The program takes advantage of access to facilities within all of the four programmatic areas.
Goodwin Hall
Goodwin Hall is the flagship building for the College of Engineering. It houses 40 instructional and research labs, eight classrooms, the Quillen Family Auditorium, and 150 offices for several engineering departments.
More than classrooms, offices, and laboratories, Goodwin Hall is a ground-breaking experiment to measure even the smallest vibrations made inside the building. The project is designed as a test bed to track data related to building design and security, occupancy monitoring for emergency response, structural health monitoring, and more.
Roughly 240 accelerometers attached to 136 sensor mounts throughout the building’s ceilings will detect information on where people are within the structure, measure normal structural settling and wind loads, and track building movement resulting from earthquakes similar to the event that struck Virginia in 2011. A sensor array mounted outside the building will measure external vibrations, such as wind, the bustle of traffic on nearby Prices Fork Road, the thunderous boom of tens of thousands of Hokie fans celebrating a touchdown at Lane Stadium, and possible seismic activity.
Integrated Life Sciences Building
The Integrated Life Sciences Building is a flagship building of the Fralin Life Science Institute, an investment institute committed to supporting research, education, and outreach in Virginia Tech’s life sciences community.
Kelly Hall
Opened in 2009, Kelly Hall houses the Institute for Critical Technology and Applied Science, which supports and promotes cutting-edge research at the intersection of engineering, science, and medicine.
The building includes engineering-led research laboratories, offices, and workspaces.
Marion duPont Equine Medical Center
The Marion duPont Scott Equine Medical Center is a premier, full-service equine hospital located in Leesburg, Virginia, and one of two hospitals of the Virginia-Maryland College of Veterinary Medicine. We offer advanced specialty care, 24-hour emergency treatment, and diagnostic services for all ages and breeds of horses. Our team of equine specialists in internal medicine, reproduction, sports medicine and rehabilitation, and surgery is committed to providing exceptional treatment for patients; superior service to clients; education for referring veterinarians, future veterinarians, and clients; and cutting-edge research to the equine industry.
Virginia-Maryland College of Veterinary Medicine
Established in 1978. The college is a leading biomedical teaching and research center and the in-state veterinary college for residents of Virginia and Maryland. Locations include the main campus in Blacksburg, Virginia, the Marion duPont Scott Equine Medical Center in Leesburg, Virginia, and the Gudelsky Veterinary Center in College Park, Maryland.
