个人简介
Dr. Joseph Vacanti received his Bachelor of Science, summa cum laude, from Creighton University in 1970. He received his MD, with high distinction, from University of Nebraska College of Medicine, and an MS from Harvard Medical School. He trained in General Surgery at the Massachusetts General Hospital, in Pediatric Surgery at Children's Hospital, Boston, and Transplantation at the University of Pittsburgh.
Dr. Vacanti has been working in the field of tissue engineering since its beginnings in the early 1980s - a mission that stems from his long-held interest in solving the problem of organ shortages. His approach to developing tissue involves a scaffold made of an artificial, biodegradable polymer, seeding it with living cells, and bathing it in growth factors. The cells can come from living tissue or stem cells. The cells multiply, filling up the scaffold, and growing into a three-dimensional tissue. Once implanted in the body, the cells recreate their proper tissue functions, blood vessels grow into the new tissue, the scaffold melts away, and lab-grown tissue becomes indistinguishable from its surroundings
Dr. Vacanti has held academic appointments at Harvard Medical School since 1974. He has authored over 265 original reports, 62 book chapters and over 430 abstracts. He has 75 patents or patents pending in the United States, Canada, Europe, and Japan. Recent awards include the Thomas G. Sheen Award presented by New Jersey Chapter of the American College of Surgeons, recognition from the American Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine for contributions in the area of tissue replacement ,the James Bartlett Brown Award from the Society of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, and the Clemson Award from the Society for Biomaterials. In addition, he was recently elected to the Institute of Medicine of the National Academy of Sciences.
