Preventive and Regenerative Medicine

From a societal point of view, prevention is an important goal regarding an aging society. However, wherever prevention is not possible, "regenerate instead of repair" becomes the guiding principle giving medical science an essential direction in its development. Research at the University for Continuing Education Krems spans the spectrum from the physical to the psychological, from osteoarthritis to the after-effects of stroke.

PhD Programs

The PhD programs at the University for Continuing Education Krems are accredited by AQ Austria. The structure follows the approach of scientific excellence in research, and students take part in third-party funded research projects. Learn more!

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.
