What is Regenerative Medicine?

OPTIMISE YOUR JOINT & MUSCLE HEALTH

Regenerative medicine is an interdisciplinary field where doctors and scientists work together towards the repair of diseased or damaged tissues using biological or cell based technologies. Regenerative medicine is a rapidly growing area of clinical research that encompasses genome engineering, nanotechnology and tissue engineering and stem cell biology.

Regenerative medicine at Opus focuses on bringing cutting edge research from the laboratory bench to clinical application.

Working with our partner laboratory we focus on the longevity of your joint using mesenchymal stem cells to repair the diseased or damaged tissue of osteoarthritis under the regulatory rigour of the UK’s Human Tissue Authority (HTA) and the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA). The Regenerative Medicine team works with the Performance team at Opus to make sure that any treatment you have is integrated with the best rehabilitation, bespoke to you and your injury or condition.

Our goal is your goal, whether that’s playing a particular sport, exercising in the gym or kicking a ball in the park with your kids.
