The AUVA research center knows the needs of trauma patients first hand and is always aiming to improve current treatments. By working together with partners in industry, the AUVA can provide a swift transition of new insights into the clinics.
On November 8th, the LBI Trauma is hosting a symposium on "Research and Industry" ("Forschung und Unternehmen – Gemeinsam für das Wohl von Unfallpatienten") with subsequent networking buffet. In course of the event successful cooperations of the AUVA, the LBI Trauma and the economy are presented. Austrian companies, many of them associate members of the Austrian Cluster for Tissue Regeneration, offer insights into exciting projects in the field of regenerative medicine.
When an injured peripheral nerve is treated by transplantation of a replacement nerve, the choice of transplant and the application of extracorporeal shockwave therapy (ESWT) can improve and accelerate the nerve's regeneration. LBI scientist David Hercher is presenting the findings of his scientific work at the TERMIS world congress currently taking place in Kyoto, Japan.
Neurons, signal transduction, muscle cells – all's well when these three components form a functional unit. Neuromuscular diseases are therefore the focus of numerous international scientists who are brought to Vienna by the LBI for Experimental and Clinical Traumatology: from 6. to 10. July 2018 the LBI together with the Austrian Society for Neurology acts as local organizer for the 15. International Congress on Neuromuscular Diseases. After Nice (2014) and Toronto (2016) Vienna joins the line of congress locations where in the coming days leading scientists will meet for this important biannual event.
