Clem Jones Research Centre for Regenerative Medicine (CJRCRM)
Bond University
The Centre investigates the therapeutic use of stem cells for tissue repair and treatment of disease. Adult stem cells are present in many tissues and already contribute to tissue replacement and repair. An important goal is therefore to support excellent stem cell science with a view to developing methodology to enhance, induce or transplant stem cells for patient benefit.
