The Pittsburgh Tissue Engineering Initiative (PTEI) promotes the development of the regional biotechnology industry through seed grant funding of tissue engineering research and through a broad range of education programs that heighten the region's awareness of the scientific, clinical, and economic significance of tissue engineering. The Initiative focuses on biomedical and related technologies associated with engineered tissues, including cell culturing, gene therapy, organ transplantation and regeneration, biomaterials, tissue manufacturing processes, and computer-assisted analysis and design. Internships are awarded with researchers in the PTEI network, including researchers at the Allegheny University of the Health Sciences, Carnegie Mellon University, Duquesne University, University of Pittsburgh, University of Pittsburgh Medical Center, and local biotechnology companies. Applicants must be natives of southwestern Pennsylvania with immediate family residing in one of the following Pennsylvania counties: Allegheny, Armstrong, Beaver, Butler, Fayette, Greene, Indiana, Lawrence, Washington, Westmoreland. All interns must participate in and attend the poster session to be held during the last week of internship.For more information, or to get an application form, visit the program web site at: http://www.pittsburgh-tissue.net/educational_programs/SIP/2004/SIP04_Main.html
