Current Intiatives
Translational Regenerative Medicine Forum
The Translational Regenerative Medicine Forum is designed to be the premier international event for leaders in regenerative medicine translation, representing academic and clinical research, healthcare policy, regulatory, reimbursement, venture investment and biotechnology industry interests. Held annually, the Forum seeks to advance the field of regenerative medicine and healthcare innovation through the sharing of scientific discoveries, best practices and business models.
KeyWalk™
The RMF KeyWalk™ is an educational fundraising platform that utilizes a viral approach to expand its reach to a truly international level. The platform allows users to participate in the fundraising event experience from their location and tour the nation's top regenerative medicine institutions and research centers.
Young Minds
The Young Minds in Regenerative Medicine Program is a commitment by the Regenerative Medicine Foundation to recognize and support promising young clinicians within 2 years of completing their training and those looking to extend their training specifically in the area of regenerative medicine. Awards will be made to promising clinicians who are conducting regenerative medicine research. Awards will also be issued to recognize students focused on the business development of the regenerative medicine industry.
Education and Awareness
The Regenerative Medicine Foundation believes it is essential to provide education and generate awareness about the science of regenerative medicine to the public. Through initiatives designed to reach out to all of the stakeholders in regenerative medicine, the Foundation has created programs to support the education of the military, patients, and the general public, as well as the venture capitalist, business, and scientific communities.
ADAM (Asynchronous Digital Anatomical Man)
ADAM, a digital representation of the human anatomy, was designed to demonstrate the various regenerative medicine applications and provide a resource of current advancements and developments. The interactive interface of ADAM provides current information, videos, and literature about the regenerative medicine technologies. Content provided by ADAM has the capability to be annotated, clipped, and distributed, so that users can create lasting educational collaterals.
Corporate Council
The Regenerative Medicine Foundation Corporate Council is an annual membership offered exclusively to the industry leaders who are committed to supporting the important work of the Regenerative Medicine Foundation. In return for their support, Council members receive unique opportunities to interact with industry stakeholders.
History
The Regenerative Medicine Foundation is an internationally-focused, not-for-profit organization created to enable the advancement of new treatments and therapies based on regenerative medicine, and ultimately, to realize the goals of personalized medicine.
Launched in 2005, the Foundation hosted one of the first regulatory meetings with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) on the topic of regenerative medicine, and was instrumental in the formation of STRaC, the Soldier Treatment and Regeneration Consortium, a precursor to the Armed Forces Institute of Regenerative Medicine (AFIRM), and the Washington, DC-based Alliance for Regenerative Medicine.
Since its inception, the Foundation has hosted its inaugural 2010 Translational Regenerative Forum for the Regenerative Medicine Foundation. With over 400 people representing 19 different countries, convening in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, the Foundation had a successful inaugural meeting. With an impressive breadth of speakers, attendees were able to hear from 10 different panels, which discussed various topics relevant to the field of regenerative medicine, ranging from best practices to what is up next for the science.
In conjunction with the Translational Regenerative Medicine Forum, the Foundation hosted its first annual Media Academy, which aims to educate and inform the media about the field of regenerative medicine.
The Regenerative Medicine Foundation has also formed its Young Minds initiative, a program that works to develop and support the career growth of students in regenerative medicine.
Through educational programs, translational conferences and public policy initiatives, the Foundation advocates for increased medical research, promotes the training and education of scientists, and facilitates the translation of therapies to patients.
