Weber - Disease Modeling and Organoid Technology (DMOT)

Overview

The “disease modeling and organoid technology” (DMOT) research group at the Department of Dermatology at the Medical University of Vienna focuses on the development of in vitro and in vivo models of human diseases with a particular focus on vascular diseases affecting the skin. Our lab combines clinical research with cutting-edge laboratory techniques with the ultimate goal of developing novel pharmaceutical approaches. This involves cellular reprogramming techniques, induced pluripotent stem cells, multipotent (adult) stem cells, in vitro (and in situ) tissue engineering approaches, pulsatile flow bioreactor systems, computational modeling as well as small animal in vivo models. The research group is embedded in the infrastructure of the “Skin and Endothelium Research Division” at the Anna-Spiegel Research building of the Medical University of Vienna, Austria.
