Research profile
Research excellence
The Centre for Regenerative Medicine (CRM) is a world leading research centre based at the University of Edinburgh’s Institute for Regeneration and Repair.
Our scientists and clinicians study stem cells, disease and tissue repair to advance human health. By better understanding how stem cells are controlled and how diseases develop in a lab environment, we hope to find new ways to treat patients.
Our research is aimed at developing new treatments for major diseases including cancer, heart disease, diabetes, degenerative diseases such as multiple sclerosis and Parkinson's disease, and liver failure.
The Centre houses 25 research groups and has a staff of more than 270 scientists, graduate students, support and ancillary staff.
Research themes
Our work is currently organised into five themes. To promote collaboration within the Centre, we adopt a flexible approach to these themes, with each Principal Investigator (PI) having one or more secondary affiliations.
Two themes focus on fundamental research: pluripotency and iPS; lineage and cell specification
The other three themes aim to translate fundamental research discoveries into clinical programmes relevant to brain, blood and liver diseases and to tissue repair.
The Centre has strong collaborative links to other centres within the University, such as the Euan MacDonald Centre for MND Research, the MS Centre and the Roslin Institute.
We also invest in technological development in all areas.
