The next Start me up Monday at FH Technikum Wien, on March 6 2023, will give insights into the opportunities, challenges and success stories of bringing your scientific discovery to the next level as a start-up.
Since 2012, the PHÖNIX award has been honouring outstanding work of Austrian start-ups and spin-offs to support them on their way into the market. This year, UpNano GmbH, partner of the Cluster, has won the prize for the best spin-off project.
The Osteology Research Academy invites you to join their Hard Tissue Research course, chaired by Cluster members Reinhard Gruber and Stefan Tangl, hosted at the Medical University Vienna.
“Visual Biology in Oral Medicine” distinguishes itself through an extensive approach to the question of how we can regenerate tissues and heal diseases by understanding and influencing the language of the cells of the oral system.
"Welcome to the Cluster.
Our objective is to better understand musculo-skeletal tissue regeneration to improve diagnostics and therapeutic measures in an entirely interdisciplinary and translational approach."
Heinz Redl,
Cluster Coordinator

from trauma to tissue regeneration...
from molecules to clinics...
Regeneration after trauma or injury is a fascinating and complex process. Some species are more capable of regenerating different body parts, tissues or organs while others possess only very limited regenerative abilities. Hydra for example, a freshwater polyp, can regenerate its entire body. Polyps are the early stage of what is commonly known as a jellyfish. After injuries, Hydra can rearrange its existing tissue which leads to a full regeneration of the lost parts.
We humans in contrast can only dream about regenerating whole body parts. Tissues or organs can to a certain extend be regenerated, but mammals and thus humans have bad regenerative capabilities compared to other animal groups. What is biologically possible and what can be supported by engineered materials is part of many research projects all over the world.
