Christian Doppler Laboratory for Innovative Therapy Approaches in Sepsis

The objective of the Christian Doppler Laboratory is the development of extracorporeal blood purification methods. The modulation of inflammatory mediators will be in the focus of our work. We will use established methods and develop new methods to assess and optimize the blood compatibility of existing blood purification systems and we will develop cell culture models to support evaluation of biocompatibility in the pre-clinical development. Fresenius Medical Care und Anagnostics Bioanalysis GmbH function as commercial partners, researchers of the Medical University Vienna act as scientific partners.

Center for Experimental Medicine

The Center for Experimental Medicine aims at unraveling the biological principles of regeneration and degeneration. Stem cell research holds tremendous promise for potential medical treatments in order to counteract degeneration to modulate inflammation associated with tissue destruction or even to regenerate damaged organs. The identification of molecular keys for the conversion of stem cells into lineage specific cells of tissues and organs, knowledge on specific bioactive substances for stem cell communication as well as relevant biophysical stimuli for stem cell integration into niches are fundamental to application of stem cells.

Zehn Risikofaktoren verursachen 90 Prozent der Schlaganfälle

Zum Welttag des Gehirns am 22. Juli 2017 betont Univ.-Prof. Dr. Dr. hc. mult. Michael Brainin von der Donau-Universität Krems die Bedeutung der Schlaganfallprävention
Um das Bewusstsein für die Gefahren durch Schlaganfälle zu schärfen, steht der diesjährige Welttag des Gehirns ganz im Zeichen der Aufklärung über Präventions- und Therapie-Optionen. Schlaganfall gilt als die Epidemie des 21. Jahrhunderts: Alle zwei Sekunden erleidet irgendwo auf der Welt ein Mensch einen Schlaganfall, jedes Jahr sterben sechs Millionen Betroffene an den Folgen.
