RMIG-2-INDIA

                 

The Regenerative Medicine Initiative Germany - RMIG - is a German association of all relevant players in the field of Regenerative Medicine. Its main objectives are to translate findings from basic research into clinical applications and products, and to position Germany as a forefront location for translational medicine in this area.

India is one of the most important international regions in the development of cell based therapies and regenerative medicine. The development of scientific excellence in today´s India in all relevant research areas which contribute to regenerative therapies bears great potential for future co-operation between India and Germany. Therefore, the RMIG is looking for partnerships in India to explore synergy in basic- as well as in applied research in the field of regenerative medicine.

In the context of the marketing initiative 'Germany - Land of Ideas' the RMIG co-ordination office will build a sustainable bilateral Indo-German network in this field. Through targeted marketing measures the aim of this network is to prepare the ground for joint research projects, the acquisition of human resources and the joint development of therapies for India's emerging market.

Competence

Germany´s regenerative medicine is distinguished by its excellent clinical research and successful translation from basic research to clinical applications and products. Therefore this field has the potential to generate innovative, cell based and economically sustainable solutions for e.g. diabetes, heart diseases, skin disorders, bone regeneration and stroke which are important for the markets in India.
