The Mission

Heart disease kills seven million people each year. Despite advances in biomedical research, we still cannot cure it, nor can we fix damaged human heart tissue.

The CELL-MET community aims to change this.

Our Research Goal

Creating lab grown heart tissue that is functional and
clinically significant

A CELL-MET trainee is standing up holding out a pig's heart as she uses her finger to point to where a valve is. Five high school students in lab coats are around her watching intently.

Our Education Goal

Growing a robust workforce to tackle future challenges in synthetic tissue engineering
