Professorship „Translational Plasma Research"

The professorship for "Translational Plasma Research" and head of the "Plasma Medicine Section" at the Clinic and Polyclinic for Dermatology and Venereology at Rostock University Medical Centre is concerned with investigating the interaction of cold, physical plasmas (medical plasma technology, CAP) with disease-associated cells and tissues. This applies both to established clinical plasma procedures, e.g. to support the healing of acute and chronic wounds, as well as experimental areas of application, which include inflammation-associated diseases and cancer. Molecular and cell biology methods are used to characterise the cell biological and immunological consequences after plasma treatment. 2D and 3D cell cultures, in ovo models, animal models and patient samples are used as research models. The research work is carried out in close co-operation with the 'Plasma Redox Effects' group at the INP in Greifswald. The fundamentals and application examples of the strongly interdisciplinary field of plasma medicine research are inherently linked to the research foci of the University of Rostock "Life, Light, Matter" and "HealthTech Medicine" of the University Medical Centre Rostock.
