Our Mission

The Pennsylvania Cancer and Regenerative Medicine Research Center (PCARMRC) is part of an international hub-and-spoke model for regenerative medical inquiry, spearheading research and collaborating with similar centers around the  world.  The interface between cancer, stem cells, and regeneration is at an historic moment.  Recent breakthroughs in cancer immune therapy have resulted in new biotechnology companies and value for patient’s lives.  New discoveries in regenerative medicine are at a similar discovery tipping point.
