Platform Stem Cell Biology and Regeneration

What we do

The Platform Stem Cell Biology and Regeneration works on fundamental questions of stem cell biology, embryonic development and primate reproduction. The resulting knowledge and expertise is also used for translational projects in which new therapies are developed and tested. The Platform Stem Cell Biology and Regeneration collaborates with partners from biosciences and human medicine in order to cover the spectrum from basic research to preclinical testing of new therapies. In addition, our resources are used for the development of alternative methods to animal testing.
