              RESEARCH SPOTLIGHT

PhD Student Participates in Training
Workshop at Wake Forest University
Steven Newby, a PhD student under Dr. Dhar,
recently participated in a weeklong course
at Wake Forest University’s Institute for
Regenerative Medicine. The course, entitled
the Regenerative Medicine Essentials course,
provides a state-of-the-art review of various
aspects of regenerative medicine, including
background material, key components of
the regenerative medicine field, and ethical,
economic, and other issues important to
regenerative medicine. The one-week course
was taught by prominent experts in the field,
allowing students to network with leading
professionals and offered future researchers
insight into the evolution of modern healthcare.
The course provided a foundational education
on technologies and skills from biological
sciences, engineering, legal, commercial,
regulatory, and ethical disciplines. Sessions
throughout the week addressed the science
behind regenerative medicine, its application
to human disease, and its importance to                                                                    regenerative medicine environment, routines
