As frontier of innovation in medicine, this sector includes, in its broadest definition, “regenerative medicine”, “reparative medicine”, “reconstructive medicine”, “regenerative rehabilitation”, “cellular and gene therapies” and “tissue engineering”. In the Region has been able to combine scientific excellence with entrepreneurial initiative; it can count on dedicated clinical structures in different areas, and on a network of public-private planning that links it to national strategic initiatives and to the most qualified international fields. It also generates an important induced, also driven to the innovation of products and services.
