Community-Informed Report Identifies 9 New Areas of Need for Regenerative Medicine Standards

Based on direct input from the regenerative medicine standards community, SCB has published an updated version of the Community Perspectives: Needed Standards in Regenerative Medicine report. The report outlines standards needs identified by the community that could have the greatest benefit to the regenerative medicine field and improve the safety and quality of products.

New Features in the Updated Report

This latest report update includes:

  • 9 new identified areas of standards need

  • Updated community prioritization information

  • Summaries of ongoing related efforts in the community

How the Report Helps Accelerate Regenerative Medicine Innovation

If addressed, the standards needs outlined in the report can support the advancement of the regenerative medicine field by:

  • Providing solutions to foundational product development challenges

  • Harmonizing divergent practices to facilitate data cross comparisons

  • Identifying and addressing knowledge gaps

  • Simplifying regulatory review

The report elevates the areas in which standardization could have the greatest immediate impact, helping the community maximize the time and effort it invests in standards.

Get Involved

For each of the 40+ areas of need, the report identifies the ways in which the community is already working to address the need—including SCB-coordinated projects—and proposes immediate next steps that stakeholders can undertake to further drive standardization. If you see an area where you can contribute expertise or data to help advance a standard area of need, contact SCB to discuss how you can join existing efforts or champion a new initiative.

Digital Version Coming Soon

To increase the usability of the report for the regenerative medicine community, SCB is developing a web-based, interactive version of the report, anticipated to be released in Spring 2021.
