Institute of Reproductive and Regenerative Biology
Director: Prof. Dr. rer. nat. Stefan Schlatt Deputy: Prof. Dr. rer. nat. Nina Neuhaus
Within an interdisciplinary team of biologists, chemists, and physicists, we perform basic research to resolve the physiology of reproduction and organ/tissue regeneration. We study the function of testicular stem and germ cells, the mechanisms controlling spermatogenesis, sperm function, and embryonic development. Moreover, in close collaboration with clinicians, we perform translational and clinical research in reproductive endocrinology, male fertility disorders, and andrology.
As clinicians we complement the basic research of the CeRA scientists with translational research and clinical studies. We persue the objective to improve diagnosis and treatment of male infertility, to enable and optimize fertility preservation, optimize the treatment of couples with the unfulfilled desire for a child by improving the assisted reproduction, as well as to establish a utilization of germ cells for therapeutic purposes.
