CellNet

The global aim of CellNet.org is to foster cooperation between universities, research centers, enterprises, including SMEs, and science and technology organizations. It will promote research networking, push for the advancement of clinical studies and education programs for specialists in the field, support economic activities and the commercialization of developments in the area of Regenerative Medicine, and share the knowledge gathered with the public.

With “CellNet Europe”, CellNet.Org proposes the establishment of a dissemination portal for EU projects in the field of Regenerative Medicine. Online services for sharing scientific knowledge will be offered, which will include project presentations, organization of project meetings, internal project communication, public relations, education and training, SME support, and industry integration. The CellNet.Org website search functions and the underlying database provide a “Who’s Who in Regenerative Medicine” for the public, whereas access to specific intranet functions is restricted to members.

CellNet.Org is a university initiative, financed by the City of Berlin, Germany and the Humboldt University. The initiative aims to support multi-disciplinary networking focusing on the field of Regenerative Medicine, including stem cells and tissue engineering. CellNet.Org is an integral part of the “Intercontinental Collaborative Network for Regenerative Medicine”, constituted by the Pittsburgh Tissue Engineering Initiative (PTEI, USA), the Kansai Tissue Engineering Initiative (KTI, Japan) and the Regenerative Medicine Initiative Germany (RMIG, Germany), providing Internet pages with a “Who’s Who in Regenerative Medicine”, Intranet services for EU project participants, as well as European offices for the members overseas. The specific focus lies on a cooperation within the Framework VI Integrated Projects and Networks of Excellence, for which special dissemination tools are offered.
