Regenerative Medicine Education & Outreach

The global stem cells market could enjoy an annual growth rate of nearly 25 percent between 2012 and 2018, reaching $119.52 billion by 2019, up from $26.23 billion in 2013. Despite the exponential growth of the stem cell therapy market, there is an alarming shortage of scientists working in the regenerative medicine field. The rapid expansion of the industry will require many highly educated workers with graduate degrees.
