Mayo Clinic investigators receive awards from Regenerative Medicine Minnesota

Several Mayo Clinic investigators received 2018 Education and Biobusiness/Biotechnology Awards from Regenerative Medicine Minnesota.

The Minnesota Legislature allocated resources to fund Regenerative medicine Minnesota in 2014 to improve the health of Minnesotans by advancing regenerative medicine therapies. Grants are awarded to individuals working to accelerate medical research and to developers of technology and biobusinesses across the state. Education grants are awarded to recruit, train and retain the next generation of health care workers and researchers in the field of generative medicine.
