After successful completion of the course, students are able to analyze the use of the building blocks for tissue regeneration and tissue engineering, select and formulate a basic application example from the broad area of TERM (tissue engineering and regenerative medicine). This is based on the teaching basics about tissue cells, biomaterials, control factors and mechanical cues also using multimodal imaging methods.

In the end, an independently developed topic from the field of tissue regeneration is presented to the other course participants as a short lecture (PowerPoint) and positive and negative aspects of the project are discussed, whereby both the lecture and discussion questions are evaluated.

 This is probably a special challenge for some of the participants since at least rudimentary biology knowledge must be applied. To get to know the relevant basics as well as potential areas of application, experts from the individual areas are available and international/interdisciplinary top researchers will illustrate the great potential/fascination of the area. To make this possible, the attendance in the courses  is recorded and the practical application is demonstrated on line.

• Biomaterials, their modification and medical application
• Production of scaffolds and tissues
• Stemcell research
• Biomarkers and Visualization Techniques
• Cell collection, propagation, reprogramming and therapy
• Innovative therapy approaches
• Examples of preclinical and clinical trials

Presentations of international researchers, guided lab tour, introduction to medical and biological data banks and MindMaps

The course is held in English.

- Participants must fulfil the 2.5 G-regulation, i.e. vaccinated- recovered or PCR-tested.

- Access to the Lorenz Böhler is only permitted with FFP 2 mask

- All participants will be checked at the entrance.

- In the lecture hall the FFP 2 mask can be taken off at the place!

- Participants are not allowed to enter the rest of the hospital area!
