Prof. H. Eray Copcu, MD, becomes professor and lays the foundations for regenerative medicine education within the Turkish university system.
About G-CAT
Scientific education for the future of regeneration.
Founded in 2015 by Prof. H. Eray Copcu, MD, after his work establishing the first Regenerative Medicine Department within the Turkish university system. G-CAT supports education, scientific exchange, and professional training across gene, cell, and tissue science.
Our Mission
Education built on evidence, method, and clinical relevance.
G-CAT Academy teaches regenerative medicine topics such as gene therapy, cell-based therapies, tissue science, and exosome research. Through meetings, academic programs, and professional collaborations, the Academy supports clinicians, researchers, and healthcare professionals working in regenerative science.
Vision
A trusted meeting point for regenerative science and clinical practice.
We see G-CAT as a place where biology, surgery, and translational science can be studied together for the benefit of patients and the discipline.
Mission
Advance evidence-based education across gene, cell and tissue science.
Our curricula are built on peer-reviewed science, clinical experience, and continuous engagement with the regenerative medicine community.
Approach
Scientific, ethical, and clinically grounded.
G-CAT is an academic education group, not a treatment provider. We communicate within the boundaries of current scientific evidence.
