RE-Practice School

Experience for Direct Exposure to Translational Challenges

CARE has secured partnerships with Vericel, Inc, Sigilon Therapeutics, Acuitive Technologies, Inc, Medline Industries, Inc, Dimension Inx, Rhaeos, and The United States Army Institute for Surgical Research to provide internships for the duration of the training program. CARE anticipates this list of partners to grow over time as the program continues. The industrial experiences will be carefully tailored to complement or relate to the student’s thesis research as much as possible by including the industry and Army liaisons during the trainee selection process. Liaisons are part of the Executive Committee; therefore, we will be able to plan an integrated and relevant experience for the trainees and the Mentor Team.

The main goal of the internship is to expose the trainee to the skills that are required for development, scale up, and manufacturing of regenerative engineering products, thereby complementing the academic experience and informing the mentor and trainee teams of potential limitations to the applicability of their approach.

The internship is expected to last at least 3 months and will take place within the 2nd year of their appointment to the training program. Trainees will be required to produce a report to their Mentor Team and the Executive Committee upon their return to Northwestern and present an overview of their experience at the program’s Student Research Forum.
