Tec.Reg - Technologies for Regenerative Medicine
The project
Inflammation is a key process in the body that plays a decisive role in acute and chronic diseases as well as in the ageing and wound healing process. Research into such key processes is therefore of great interest from both a medical and a health policy perspective.
Our activities in the project
COREMED and HEALTH have pooled their expertise as part of the Tec.Reg project with the common goal of achieving rapid progress in inflammation research and development. In detail the differences between normal and derailed inflammatory reactions were determined. The focus was on the development of technologies that enable multimodal monitoring of healthy and inflamed skin in order to recognise the development of chronic wounds at an early stage and subsequently prevent them altogether.

Project details
At the HEALTH Institute, new technologies were developed and existing measurement technologies adapted and optimised in order to characterise the inflammation in the wound healing process with temporal and spatial resolution.
The necessary preclinical models for acute and chronic wounds were established at COREMED overcoming the challenge of adapting these models as closely as possible to the clinical situation. These clinically relevant models and the implementation of innovative imaging procedures will contribute to the best and fastest possible translation of the results from the Tec.Reg project into the clinic.
