Dr. Anthony Atala, TEDxWakeForestU Speaker 2012

Dr. Anthony Atala is the director of the Wake Forest Institute for Regenerative Medicine, where his work focuses on growing and regenerating tissues and organs.

His lab at the Wake Forest Institute for Regenerative Medicine is engineering over 30 tissues and whole organs. In 2007, Atala and a team of Harvard University researchers showed that stem cells can be harvested from the amniotic fluid of pregnant women.
