The Austrian Society for Regenerative Medicine (RegMed) is a non-profit association based in Vienna. Our vision is a future in which regenerative medicine is shaped first by open, fact-based information for medicine and the public; advanced through strong networking among clinicians and researchers to help establish cell-based therapies; and grounded, in turn, in rigorous, independent research with a clear clinical focus – translating scientific findings into real benefit for patients. We are committed exclusively and directly to promoting research in the field of regenerative medicine – both materially and immaterially – and to spreading fact-oriented, scientifically grounded knowledge on the subject, accessible to everyone.
Which cell-based therapies exist, and for which indications is there solid evidence? Here we provide clear, fact-based information on the different approaches and their clinical use. We also explain the legal framework, for example when a treatment counts as established standard therapy and when it is still experimental, and we address the ethical questions that come with offering these therapies to patients.
RegMed Austria is a clinical society for regenerative medicine that brings together physicians and clinical researchers from all over the world who work with cell-based therapies, whether in private practice or at institutions. As a supportive network, we connect colleagues across borders. As a platform, we offer a place for members to share their experience. We also highlight selected congresses and events in regenerative medicine, whether organized by us, our members or other colleagues, and present cooperations between members.
In regenerative medicine, good clinical work deserves to be published. We feature publications by our members, along with selected current studies on topics of particular interest, briefly summarized and discussed. We also provide information on funding opportunities and research cooperations, supporting members in turning their clinical experience into published evidence.
