Disease modeling

Standardized cell-based and in vivo disease models that recapitulate human heart disease are critical for quality control, reproducibility, and thus the development of novel targeted therapies. Here, we provide and expand defined established human induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC)-based in vitro models and standardized murine in vivo models to enable consistent experimental approaches and data […]

Integrated Research Training Group for CardioScience

The IRTG of Cardioscience offers an ambitious study program dedicated to the state-of-the-art experimental approaches that are essential in the CRC 1550 combining mentoring and supervision of our Early Career Investigators (ECIs). The program combines thesis advisory committees, annual winter schools, practical hand-on courses, lecture series “Molecular Cardiology Class”, a Journal club “Molecular circuits in […]

Infrastructure for Biobanking, Data Management and Bioinformatics

The INF project integrates the existing infrastructures CardioBiobank, CardioCloud and Bioinformatics and defines three AIMS: (I) Building the interfaces for an integrated functional structure between CardioCloud, CardioBiobank and Bioinformatics. (II) To provide specific end-to-end workflows from sample preparation to data storage and analysis. (III) Dissemination of biosamples, data and bioinformatics results. INF serves as central […]
