Institute for autologous cell therapy
We are a leading institute for stem cell therapies. Our qualifications and special services set us apart. Using the body's own plasma and cells, which contain over 200 different growth factors and cytokines, we can regenerate tissue and accelerate repair processes.
The tasks of the Institute for Cell Therapy are the treatment and research of therapy with autologous adult stem cells and functionally similar cells. Through therapeutic application, valid data on prognosis and effectiveness can be collected. Laboratory tests on the functionality and characterization of the cells ensure consistently high quality. The institute is supported by the Karl-Kärcher Foundation, among others, which focuses on the treatment of osteoarthritis.
