BioMimetic (NASDAQ: BMTI) is a biotechnology company developing orthopedic surgical devices that deliver purified recombinant human platelet-derived growth factor (rhPDGF-BB) to promote tissue healing and regeneration. rhPDGF-BB is a synthetic form of PDGF, one of the body's principal agents to stimulate and direct healing and regeneration.

While on staff at Harvard beginning in the mid 1980s, Dr. Samuel Lynch, BioMimetic's president, CEO and founder, conducted research on the role of PDGF in tissue repair and regeneration. These efforts generated a foundation of scientific knowledge and intellectual property from which BioMimetic Therapeutics is now based.
