Clem Jones Research Centre for Stem Cells & Tissue Regenerative Therapies

The Clem Jones Research Centre for Stem Cells & Tissue Regenerative Therapies (CJRC) focuses on developing novel technologies to grow diseased or damaged tissue anew while using the patient’s own adult stem cells. The CJCR’s main areas of focus are to cure degenerative diseases such as macular degeneration of the eye and to develop treatments for defects of skin, nerve tissue, bones and joints due to disease or surgery.

The Director of the centre, Professor Patrick Warnke, has previously led the prestigious multinational stem cell and tissue engineering network “MyJoint” for the European Union. The scientists of the CJRC have been recruited from superb stem cell research locations such as Harvard University, USA, and the Australian Stem Cell Centre.

The CJRC’s goal is to design perfect-fit replacement tissue for patients using the latest nanotechnologies and rapid prototyping methods for stem cell integration and control.

Bond University is proud to have the support of The Clem Jones Foundation to fund this innovative research.
