About MPWRM: Reconstruction of dental, oral, and craniofacial (DOC) tissues through tissue engineering and regenerative medicine (RM) is a major goal in dentistry.  Despite the continuing success and commercial viability of RM approaches in selected areas of medicine, the application of RM concepts to DOC problems has not been well-implemented in clinical practice.  To meet this need, the Michigan-Pittsburgh-Wyss Regenerative Medicine Resource Center (MPWRM RC) was established as an interdisciplinary partnership between the University of Michigan, the University of Pittsburgh, and the Wyss Institute at Harvard University, along with technology, clinical, regulatory, marketing, and commercial translation experts from private practice and industry. Through this collaborative effort, the MPWRM Resource Center looks to accelerate clinical adoption of promising technologies by providing the interdisciplinary expertise and resources to guide technologies toward FDA submissions.
