Austrian Cluster for Tissue Regeneration
Coordinator: Heinz Redl, PhD
In December 2006, The Research Cluster for Tissue Regeneration was founded in part by the Ludwig Boltzmann Institute for Experimental and Clinical Traumatology, research groups from the Medical University of Vienna, the Bernhard Gottlieb University Dental Clinic, and the Red Cross of Upper Austria.
The objective of the Cluster is to better understand soft tissue, cartilage, bone and neuroregeneration, and thereby enhance therapy through new and improved treatment methods. Research assignments arise from treatment necessities and proven benefits to patients.
Through establishment of the Cluster, clinical experts for bone and joint regeneration, as well as neuroregeneration and specialists in imaging techniques, such as High-Field Magnetic Resonance, are woven into one collective research fabric. At the same time, the research structure is supplemented by the interdisciplinary team of biochemists, chemists, biophysicists, molecular biologists, biotechnologists, electronic technicians and veterinarians and their assistants.
