At the Reference and Translation Center for Cardiac Stem Cell Therapy (RTC) at Rostock University novel examination methods with stem cells for heart diseases are being investigated and applied. Our goal is to enable the long-term healing of the damaged heart on the basis of regenerative medicine.

As a Translation Center, the RTC manages the complex process starting from basic research over early development to the point of approval and application of stem cells as standardised and quality-checked therapies. The methods and techniques developed at the Translation Center are meant to provide a reference for further research projects on stem cells in the future. Hence, the RTC considers itself as a service provider for scientists, physicians and patients.

On the following websites information is offered regarding regenerative medicine with particular emphasis on cardiac stem cell therapy. You will also find details about our work and the structure of the RTC, as well as information regarding events and further references. Questions and suggestions are certainly welcome.
