The RMU board determines the strategic course in the field of regenerative medicine as well as its coordination. This board is composed of representatives from the respective core teams of the four separate organizational units (UMCU, UU Veterinary Medicine, UU Science Faculty, Hubrecht Institute). The RMU Board acts as an umbrella by setting the strategic framework for the common ambition “to improve the understanding of stem cell biology, to develop innovative technologies and to translate our findings into new regenerative therapies”. The aim is to intensify cooperation in education, research and innovation by sharing state-of-the-art infrastructures, scouting and training talented people, and creating access to scarce expertise as well as access to external subsidies and funds.
