"The Evolution of Materials in Tissue Engineering;
Mary Shelley as the Original Visionary"

---

The last few years have brought forth an incredible number  of life changing, literally, advancements in the field of regenerative medicine and tissue engineering. 3D printing of body parts to tissue engineering tracheas being implanted into humans. What mesmerized & scared the wits out of as kids turns out to be actually reality that is on the cusp of altering the way we will look at medicine and technology in the future.

Tonight, on the eve of Halloween, we will explore the historic path of tissue engineering… the challenges… the hurdles… the setbacks… the hopes… the dreams… AND the materials that have made this  THE story for the ages. Come and be haunted, feed, and entertained… costumes optional
