Mission Statement:
The mission of the Center is to provide an infrastructure for the study of Organogenesis at the University of Michigan. The field of Organogenesis unites research in the clinical, basic science and applied arenas with a common, directed goal: To understand the basic mechanisms by which organs and tissues are formed and maintained, and to use this knowledge to create long lasting artificial organs, stem cell therapies or organ transplantation systems that will correct genetic and acquired diseases. The following research focus areas have been defined:
- Organ Development
- Organ/Tissue Maintenance and Replacement
- Abnormal Organ Growth
