About CRTD
Research at the Center for Regenerative Therapies Dresden (CRTD) at TUD Dresden University of Technology focuses on discovering principles of cell and tissue regeneration, and leveraging this for recognition, treatment, and reversal of diseases. The CRTD is well positioned for this challenge with its diversity in model organisms, organs, and disease systems and its range of methodological approaches from basic research to validation projects and clinical studies. The CRTD links the bench to the clinic, and scientists to clinicians to bring expertise in stem cells, gene-editing, and regeneration towards innovative therapies for metabolic, osteo-hematological, and neurological diseases.

In 2006, the CRTD was founded as a research center of the German Research Foundation (DFG FZ 111) and in the same year was awarded the title of Cluster of Excellence
(EXC 168) by the Federal Excellence Initiative.
In 2012, the CRTD was confirmed as both a DFG Research Centre and a Cluster of Excellence for a further five years.
In 2019 the CRTD was taken over by funding by TU Dresden and the Free State of Saxony.
