Pre-Conference Workshop 1: Innovation and Navigating FDA Regulatory Pathways in Tissue Engineering
Workshop Organizers: Advanced Regenerative Manufacturing Institute (ARMI) and Standards Coordinating Body for Regenerative Medicine (SCB)
Join us for a dynamic gathering where experts from academia, industry, and regulatory bodies will converge to explore the latest advancements and challenges at the intersection of tissue engineering and FDA regulation. This workshop will offer insightful presentations, and collaborative discussions focused on fostering innovation within a regulatory by pre-competitive standardization and competitive product development in this multi-disciplinary field. Join us for an opportunity to engage with thought leaders, share knowledge, and envision the future of tissue-engineered products within the regulatory landscape. Don’t miss this chance to be at the forefront of transforming healthcare and advancing medical technology.

Pre-Conference Workshop 2: What Now? Commercial Translation and Entrepreneurship in Regenerative Medicine
Workshop Organizers: Adam Jakus, Michael Orrico
The recent progress within the tissue engineering and regenerative medicine research fields are worthy of celebration, but also lead to the simple, yet profound question “What now?”. While decades of research promise lifesaving therapies, very few of these therapies are commercially-available and are only accessible by a small percentage of patients that could benefit from them. The ultimate goal of regenerative medicine research is to yield technologies and products that can improve and save the lives of patients and provide additional comfort to their loved-ones. With “what now?” at the forefront of many of current efforts, we are pleased to bring this workshop on translation, entrepreneurship, and growing the tissue engineering and regenerative medicine industry to the TERMIS community. This workshop will cover topics that communicate context for the current state of this young industry, provide insights and advice for those who are looking to or are currently taking the leap from research to entrepreneurship, and highlight the stories of several individuals and their companies that represent various levels of translational and commercial progress.

Pre-Conference Workshop 3: Artificial Intelligence (AI) in Biofabrication, Tissue Engineering, and Regenerative Medicine: From Experimental Design and Advanced Analyses towards Enabling Therapeutic Applications
Organizers: Bernd Rolauffs, Melanie Hart, Mostafa Rezapour, Tracy Criswell, Metin Gurcan, Patrick McNutt, Will Qiao, Kelvin Yeung, Grace Zhang, Tomas Gonzalez-Fernandez, Ruogang Zhao
This workshop will explore the transformative role of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in advancing biofabrication, tissue engineering, and regenerative medicine. We will focus on how AI techniques can enhance the analysis of omics data to uncover biomarkers, gene expression patterns, and biological pathways in both healthy and engineered tissues, providing critical insights into tissue regeneration. Participants will learn how to design experiments to enable sufficient and high quality data collection suitable for AI applications, combining AI with novel imaging methods and computational tools to explore cellular behavior and tissue dynamics at the single-cell level, and unlocking new strategies for improving therapeutic outcomes. Additionally, the session will highlight AI’s impact on optimizing scaffold design, material selection, and bioprinting technologies, particularly in musculoskeletal applications, while addressing the role of deep learning models in predicting scaffold biocompatibility and automating tissue engineering processes. This workshop will provide a comprehensive overview of how AI is shaping the future of tissue engineering and regenerative medicine, enabling more effective, targeted therapeutic interventions.
