Brigham and Women's Hospital

At the Brigham and Women’s Hospital we met Dr. Mizuno who is a co-founder of Histogenics with a PhD, working in orthopedic research at Harvard Medical School.   Dr. Mizuno explained his involvement in the research he has done that led to the development the product NeoCart;
The idea he had was to take patients cells and biomaterials, and then put them into a bioreactor. The bioreactor is used to replicate the pressure of walking in order to help grow the knee cartilage. Dr. Mizuno explained the development of the machine that he created with other Japanese inventors and makers of the bioreactor;

Today Dr. Mizuno continues his research at Harvard, in order to further develop regenerative medicine products for the future
