Close links between science and industry

Based on early initiatives to promote networking between 

research groups in the field of regenerative medicine, the “Regen-

erative Medicine Initiative Berlin” (RMIB) was founded in 2003. 

Initially focused primarily on science, the network opened out to 

the corporate sector in 2007 and has concentrated since then on 

networking between scientists and industry as well as between 

companies in Berlin and Brandenburg. 

Today the RMIB is supported by the BCRT and BioTOP. Its activities 

focus on the continued extension of the regional interaction and 

information network between science and industry. That com-

prises joint working groups between scientists and users, com-

munication structures between the players in regenerative medi-

cine, and between them and adjacent fields as well as regional 

political institutions, and location marketing. 

In terms of content, cooperation is guided by the themes of the 

regional working groups, i. e. the research areas and applica-

tions of regional companies, the BCRT and other regional research 

facilities. Within these thematic areas, companies and working 

groups establish joint projects using the RMIB communication 

platform and implement them with funding from suitable – often 

regional – funding programmes.

The RMIB’s most important communication tool is the “Treffpunkt 

Regenerative Medizin” as a discussion and event platform covering 

current developments. In addition, the RMIB organises other spe-

cialised and interdisciplinary meetings and conferences. In several 

working groups researchers and companies share their experienc-

es regarding regulatory issues or reimbursement strategies.

Regenerative Therapies Instead of Prostheses

»

More than 4,000 patients with joint and spinal disc 



problems have already been treated with our autologous 

cartilage transplants – and the success quota is very high. 

We are currently conducting two clinical trials which are the 

precondition for the approval and hence also the marketing 

of tissue engineering products under new legislation in the 

European Union. They will enable us to gain a far larger mar-

ket share with our autologous cartilage cell products whose 

use is already refunded by the health insurers in Germany.

tical company, founded in November 

1993,  since  2001  listed  on  Frankfurt 

stock exchange. co.don

®

 AG manu-



factures cell-based tissue engineering 

therapeutics of the highest purity and to 

the highest quality standards. Its prod-

ucts represent a revolutionary process in 

the biological replacement of damaged 

articular cartilage, invertebral disc and 

bone by building up strictly autologous 

tissue without the involvement of any 

external carrier materials or additives. 

The application of the products may 

be minimally invasive or arthroscopic 

and so surgery and rehabilitation times 

significantly  reduced  for  doctor  and 

patient. Because no external materials 

are used, the risks of rejection, inflam-

mation and infection are very slight.

 AG was 


the first biopharmaceutical company in 

Europe to be granted a permit for the 

manufacture of autologous chondrocyte 

and osteoblast transplants under sec-
