About the research group

The Regenerative Medicine Program of IDIBELL integrates fundamental and translational research on the use of cells and tissues to treat degenerative diseases. The Program is currently composed by 7 independent research groups whose activities span broad areas of science, including stem cell biology, developmental biology, regeneration and aging, development of advanced therapies, and molecular mechanisms of disease. Researchers within the Regenerative Medicine Program of IDIBELL employ experimental systems that range from zebrafish and mice to human pluripotent stem cells and organoids. The Program also hosts the Barcelona Stem Cell Bank, node of the Carlos III Institute of Health's Spanish Cell Bank, which generates, registers, and banks human iPS cell lines.

The Regenerative Medicine Program of IDIBELL is a key part of the Program for the Clinical Translation of Regenerative Medicine in Catalonia (P-CMR[C]), a transversal action in the Catalan environment that brings together the relevant stakeholders for advancing the clinical translation of strategies of regenerative medicine based on the use of pluripotent stem cells
