New Aspects in Cell-based Therapies

This year’s summer school will focus on primary cells as source for (tissue) regeneration and therapeutic applications and test systems in human and veterinary medicine:

1. improved methods for isolation, propagation and maturation of primary cells for human and animal regenerative application (cartilage, amnion, umbilical cord).
2. the application of autologous and allogenic stem cells in human immunotherapies
3. standardization of human cells as in vitro test systems and extracellular vesicles for clinical applications

The program will include class lectures and hands on courses in the lab targeting different raw materials. Furthermore, we will highlight the importance of entrepreneurial thinking, which is needed to transfer an academic result to a medical application for the benefit of patients. There will also be plenty of time for fruitful discussions with the lecturers and participants and several social events for networking.

Renate Kunert

Target group

Qualified master students as well as MScs, PhD/doctoral students and human or veterinarian medical doctors are invited to apply. We accept the application of postdocs.

Course aim

After successful completion of this course the students will be able to discuss the application of primary cells from different origins for tissue engineering. They will be able to apply several isolation techniques, know how to choose cultivation techniques for the respective tissues and how to analyse the proliferated cells.
