Wake Forest Institute for Regenerative Medicine (WFIRM)
Research institute affiliated with Wake Forest School of Medicine.
The Wake Forest Institute for Regenerative Medicine (WFIRM) is recognized as an international leader in translating scientific discoveries into clinical therapies. Its physicians and scientists were the first in the world to engineer laboratory-grown organs that were successfully implanted into humans. Today, this team is working to engineer replacement tissues and organs and develop healing cell therapies for more than 30 different areas of the body. The institute is based at Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center (WakeHealth.edu), a fully integrated academic medical center located in Winston-Salem, N.C. The institution comprises Wake Forest School of Medicine, a leading center for medical education and research; Wake Forest Baptist Health, the integrated clinical structure that includes nationally ranked Brenner Children’s Hospital; Wake Forest Innovations, which promotes the commercialization of research discoveries and operates Wake Forest Innovation Quarter, an urban research and technology park; plus a network of affiliated community hospitals, physician practices, outpatient services and other medical facilities. Wake Forest Baptist clinical programs and the School of Medicine are regularly ranked among the best in the country by U.S. News & World Report.
