Planning for the Future of Regenerative Medicine in Atlanta RFA

This new program is the result of a partnership between Georgia Tech and ACTSI and will be managed by Ravi Bellamkonda, Bob Taylor of Georgia Tech and Rob Taylor from Emory. Robert M. Nerem, Ph.D., Professor and Director, Parker H. Petit Institute for Bioengineering and Bioscience of Georgia Tech, says, "Ravi Bellamkonda was front and center in developing this initiative; however, many others have also contributed. I view this as an exciting new initiative for Georgia Tech, a major step forward as we move beyond National Science Foundation funding. I hope that each of you will begin to think about ideas that might be developed through this planning grant program."Please see the Request for Applications for more information.
