The National Center for Regenerative Medicine brings together some of the nation’s foremost experts in the field of stem cell research and treatment. In addition the center’s education component enables nurses, graduate students, technicians, and physicians to acquire the complex skills required to perform groundbreaking research and deliver high quality patient care in this new field.

Approximately 110 researchers from Case Western Reserve University, Cleveland Clinic, and University Hospitals Case Medical Center are investigators in the center. Additional information about these researchers is available in the menu on this page.

What people are saying about the NCRM and its researchers

“This (center) will help us build on the solid foundation that we have developed for non-embryonic stem cell research in Cleveland,” said Ralph I. Horwitz, M.D., dean of the School of Medicine and director of the Case Research Institute. “It is a ringing endorsement of the research talent that is found at Case, the Cleveland Clinic and University Hospitals Case Medical Center.”

“There is clearly a synergy among Cleveland stem cell researchers that is being recognized at state and federal levels,” said Fred C. Rothstein, M.D., president and chief executive officer of University Hospitals Case Medical Center. “Over the last 30 years, the collaboration between UHCMC and Case has resulted in much deeper understanding of the potential for non-embryonic stem cells.”

“In addition to the state-of-the-art research that will impact the lives of countless people, this center fosters growing collaborations which will significantly contribute to Northeast Ohio’s continued emergence as a leading biomedical center,” said Paul DiCorleto, Ph.D., chair of The Lerner Research Institute at the Cleveland Clinic.
