Regenerative medicine involves harnessing the body’s own capacity to repair tissues and organs. In this free Front Row lecture, Associate Professor Michael Bollong will share how he is identifying and targeting the pathways controlling regeneration. By combining traditional drug discovery tools with modern biological techniques, Bollong and his lab are developing novel medicines that can intervene in the processes that cause a spectrum of human diseases and medical conditions, including heart disease, inflammatory disease and fibrosis.
