Master of Science in Regenerative Medicine Faculty & Administration
The Master of Science in Regenerative Medicine (MSRM) Program faculty is composed of leading experts in regenerative medicine including many National Institutes of Health research grant awardees and internationally renowned scientists and physicians. With a focus on advanced therapies such as stem cell treatments, tissue regeneration and gene editing, the faculty brings a wealth of knowledge and practical experience. Most faculty members hold joint appointments with clinical departments at Cedars-Sinai, offering students unique opportunities for broad clinical exposure and hands-on experience in the application of regenerative medicine techniques to treat complex diseases and injuries. This integration of research and clinical practice is a defining feature of the program.
