World’s first Regenerative Bioscience Major
PhD candidate Morgane Golan talks about her experience as a student trainee in the NSF Engineering Research Center for Cell Manufacturing Technologies (CMaT).


The Georgia Advantage

Collaboration makes us better
When “I” is replaced by “we” even “illness” becomes “wellness”.

Goldwater Scholar
RBC science students were selected as Goldwater Scholarship winners, as well as Gates, Churchill and Udall winners, and several prestigious nominees.

Class Size Matters
Smaller class sizes allow students and professors to be more engaging and build meaningful relationships.

Benefits of being local
Georgia is ranked among the top 15 bio-related occupational employment states and ranked 6th among the fastest-growing in bio-related employment.

You can go the distance
Class of 2021 – 99% obtained employment within 6 months of graduation.

Ranked with the Best
UGA is near the top of multiple U.S. News & World Report ranking lists for undergraduate research.

What is Regenerative Bioscience?
Regenerative bioscience is a field of study that aims to develop new ways to replace, repair, or regenerate human and animal cells, tissues, or organs from a pathologic or diseased condition. In cases of severe injury or disease the innate healing and defense mechanisms of the body are limited and there are no effective treatments. Therefore, the goal of regenerative bioscience is to find a way to cure previously untreatable injuries and diseases.
What will I learn?
We are enormously proud to be the first University in the country to offer an undergraduate degree in Regenerative Bioscience. As a Regenerative Bioscience major, you will be working with nationally recognized scientists with diverse human and animal expertise. You will be taught the most current and emerging concepts in regenerative bioscience. From basic to translational science, to how these paradigms are being used to treat complex diseases and injuries. You will gain an in-depth understanding of cell therapy and cell manufacturing approaches, including using gene editing tools to alter disease progression. You will learn about tissue engineering and bioengineering of novel therapies, and the development of medical devices and novel diagnostics. As part of the program, you will become intimately familiar with the current state of the regenerative bioscience industry. We will also give you a “front door opportunity” to participate in experiential-learning through hands-on research and enrollment in the RBC laboratory experience.
A world of opportunity awaits.

As a result of my research on bone production using stem cells in the RBC Stice lab, I was selected through a competitive selection process to be one of approximately 150 participants to present my research at a poster presentation at Harvard.

The collaboration and close relationship between the different labs in the RBC makes the research experience unique in that you are always learning about different projects and meeting different scientists on a daily basis.

..research on brain injuries in domestic violence victims has proven to be the most transformative experience.
