The Regenerative Orthopedics, Tissue Bank and Cellular Therapy Nucleus was established in 2018 following a cutting-edge trend in the development of this type of research line. Important centers in the USA and Europe initiated this research and development center model. Currently, the frank and exponential development in the area of musculoskeletal system regenerative medicine stands out. In the cellular therapy sphere, new Brazilian regulations/legislation were published in 2018, demonstrating the timeliness of the topic.
The establishment and development of the research Biobank/Biorepository in this area is intended. With the existence of this center, it will be possible to expand the research lines involving Cellular Therapy and Regenerative Orthopedics. The Nucleus comprises the Tissue Bank that has existed since 1952 and today it has the most modern technologies to meet the standards of ANVISA and the National Transplant System. Its basic goal is the procurement and processing of bone tissue, cartilage, tendons, fascia and ligaments. It has its own processing and cryopreservation unit, and an autonomous Surgical Center.
