The McGowan Institute for Regenerative Medicine is a facility of both the University of Pittsburgh and UPMC that serves as a single base of operations for leading scientists and clinical faculty working in the areas of tissue engineering, cellular therapies, and artificial and biohybrid organ devices.
The institute is located in the Pittsburgh Technology Center, an office park in South Oakland situated on the former site of an LTV Steel mill. This office park is a hub of advanced academic and corporate technology research and stands as an example of one of the best brownfield redevelopment projects in the country.
