Division/Committee: [PMSE] Division of Polymeric Materials Science and Engineering

Founded by Dr. Cato Laurencin, the mission of the Regenerative Engineering Society (RES) is to promote and advance regenerative engineering, a field defined as the Convergence of Advanced Materials Sciences, Stem Cell Science, Physics, Developmental Biology and Clinical Translation for the regeneration of complex tissues and organ systems. One of the ways RES does this is by organizing an annual conference, Rock Stars of Regenerative Engineering. This conference gathers world-renowned regenerative engineers and scientists to provide their perspectives on research and the future direction of the field. In addition to these leading researchers, up and coming Shining Stars deliver talks on their work. Rising Stars, generally students and post-docs, have opportunities to connect with leaders in the field and share their research through poster presentations.
