Regenerative Medicine

Futurized goes beneath the trends to track the underlying forces of disruption in tech, policy, business models, social dynamics and the environment. I’m your host, Trond Arne Undheim, futurist and author. In episode #120 of the podcast, the topic is: Regenerative Medicine. Our guest is Giuseppe Perale, Professor, USI, Founder, IBI SA. In this conversation, we talk about regenerative medicine's path from scientific discipline to a commercial field. We touch on the true meaning of regenerative which means repair to heal, translational medicine, tissue engineering, stem cells, biofabrication, longevity, the healthspan/lifespan debate and the debacle around the safety and innovation in medical devices.
