Advanced BioHealing Inc., a Westport, Conn.-based biotech firm, has opened an office in Brentwood as it expands research and development efforts. The company has leased 5,500 square feet of office space in the Overlook Building with plans to move a lab there from temporary space at the Cumberland Emerging Technologies Life Sciences Center in Nashville.

Advanced BioHealing, which focuses on regenerative medicine, expects to have about 10 Nashville-area employees by year-end. Its research includes additional uses for its lead product, the skin substitute Dermagraft.

Charles E. Hart, the former chief scientific officer at BioMimetic Therapeutics, now works with Advanced BioHealing.
