Regenerative Medicine is a branch of medical science which studies the replacement or regeneration of human cells, tissue and organs, to counter chronic diseases that debilitate organs and hence bodily function. It includes biomedial approaches to clinical therapies that may involve the use of stem cells by injection of stem cells or progenitor cells. It may also be done by inducing regeneration by biologically active molecules, or by transplantion of in vitro grown organs and tissues through tissue engineering.

The Manipal Institute of Regenerative Medicine (MIRM) strives to add to the research in this branch of medicine by facilitating a group of outstanding scientists to create an exceptional research environment. Through their faculty, curriculum and infrastructure, MIRM scholars are encouraged to do some of their best work in basic stem cell biology and for critical advances in the field through ground breaking innovation.
