The Providence Veterans Administration (VA) Medical Center has
broken ground on a new, $6.1-million building that is slated to
house researchers, professors, and clinicians from three partner
organizations that provide cutting-edge care and innovations for
veterans with amputations, traumatic brain injury (TBI),
neurodegenerative diseases, and post-traumatic stress disorder. The
researchers at the new VA Center for Restorative and Regenerative
Medicine hail from Providence VA Medical Center, Rhode Island;
Brown University, Providence; and the Massachusetts Institute of
Technology (MIT), Boston. The researchers, led by Hugh Herr, PhD,
director of MIT’s Biomechatronics Group, have already been working
together in modular units on the Providence VA campus and
elsewhere. The new center, expected to open next October, will
facilitate collaboration among researchers by centralizing their
research facilities.
