The Keynote Lecture titled, "Acellular Approach to Skeletal Muscle Regeneration: Clinical Translation" will be presented by Dr. Badylak from the University of Pittsburgh on Friday, April 1st 2022 at 9 AM CST.
Dr. Stephen Badylak, DVM, PhD, MD is the Deputy Director of the McGowan Institute for Regenerative Medicine, Professor in the Department of Surgery, and Director of the Center for Pre-Clinical Tissue Engineering at the University of Pittsburgh. The focus of Dr. Badylak’s work has been on the mechanisms by which the extracellular matrix signals host tissues to promote and support functional tissue reconstruction. Dr. Badylak places high emphasis on the clinical translation of all activities performed in the laboratory, which ranges from basic science at the subcellular level to patient care at the bed side.
Dr. Badylak is the past President of the Tissue Engineering and Regenerative Medicine International Society (TERMIS) and has authored of more than 350 peer reviewed publications and over 40 book chapters. He also holds more than 360 issued patents worldwide. He has served as the Chair of the Study Section for Small Business Innovative Research (SBIR) and the Bioengineering, Technology, and Surgical Sciences (BTSS) Study Section at the National Institutes of Health (NIH). Dr. Badylak is also a member of the College of Scientific Reviewers. Dr. Badylak has either chaired or been a member of the Scientific Advisory Board for numerous major medical device companies. He is also a member of the Society for Biomaterials. Dr. Badylak is also the Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Immunology and Regenerative Medicine.
The Mizzou Musculoskeletal Postdoctoral Research Program is a collaboration among the Departments of Orthopaedic Surgery, Pathology and Anatomical Sciences, and Physical Therapy at the University of Missouri. The primary objective of the post-doctoral training program is to expand and enhance the biomedical scientist workforce to accelerate discoveries and breakthroughs that positively impact outcomes for millions of individuals suffering from bone, muscle, and joint disorders. The program is led by Dr. Dana Duren (Director), Drs. James Cook and Richard Sherwood (Co-Directors), and Dr. Lisa Royse (Evaluation Specialist).
