REGENERATIVE MEDICINE
Aim
The aim of the collaboration is the rapid bench-to-beside translation of novel strategies in Regenerative Medicine.
Through interaction between the ScanBalt Universities and relevant partners existing high-level research is bundled and high-quality education is offered.
The basic research fields are:
- stem cell technology, control of stem cell (de)differentiation and improvement of the ability to manipulate stem cell proliferation and differentiation
- bioinformatics-systemsbiological research to reveal the most relevant complexities of signalising systems being involved in the differentiation of stem cells of different origins
- research in Tissue engineering, cell matrix interactions and biomaterials including identification and development of small molecules that can influence differentiation
With this Knowledge Network we will:
- generate synergies and establish the best possible exploitation of common resources
- coordinate existing and future cooperation and financial support
- attract competent and motivated people, good ideas and money
- promote the application of cell therapies and development of small molecules regulating and modifying cell differentiation for the benefits of the patients
- develop and establish new techniques in stem cell isolation, expansion and processing including biomaterials and drugs
- promote clinical translation to the treatment of cardiovascular, neurological, bone, cartilage, immunologic and metabolic disease through clinical studies in specialized units
- transfer to cell production technology, pharmacological and medical device technology in cooperation with the industrial partners
- set up quality systems and standardization (GLP, GCP, GMP)
- include Know how in law & ethics, patenting etc. from the beginning
