Staying connected in the tissue engineering community
VIRTUAL WEBINAR SERIES
The TERMIS-AM Membership Committee has formulated a list of webinars being conducted in the region.
Communication and connectivity within the tissue engineering community are critical objectives of TERMIS. Staying connected and up to date with research in the field is more important now than ever before. In addition to bringing you TERMIS chapter meetings, World Congress, and TWIG seminars, we have curated a list of recurring virtual webinar series from other institutions in the region in diverse topics relevant to tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. If you are hosting a recurring virtual seminar series that you would like to add to the list, please contact matthew.wolf@nih.gov.

The Alliance for Regenerative Medicine (ARM) is a Washington, DC-based multi-stake-holder advocacy organization that promotes legislative, regulatory and reimbursement initiatives necessary to facilitate access to life-giving advances in regenerative medicine. ARM also works to increase public understanding of the field and its potential to transform human healthcare, providing business development and investor outreach services to support the growth of its member companies and research organizations. Prior to the formation of ARM in 2009, there was no advocacy organization operating in Washington, DC to specifically represent the interests of the companies, research institutions, investors and patient groups that comprise the entire regenerative medicine community. Today ARM has more than 150 members and is the leading global advocacy organization in this field. To learn more about ARM or to become a member, visit www.alliancerm.org.
