TRR259 - Aortic Disease
The TRR259 is a Collaborative Research Center funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG) at the University Bonn, Cologne, and Düsseldorf. In a joint and multidisciplinary effort, we are investigating the molecular and cellular mechanisms of aortic disease holistically, with a particular focus on aortic valve stenosis, aortic aneurysm, and aortic dissection. Prospectively, we envision identifying novel pharmacological, interventional, and surgical targets for diagnostic, preventive, and therapeutic strategies within the frame of translational and clinical studies.

On May 5-6, 2022, the TRR259 participated in the first “Joint meeting of German SFB research consortia & graduate schools”, organized by the SFB/TRR219. The meeting took place with 14 associations that focused on kidney, heart, and vessels.
At the Girls' Future Day on April 28, schoolgirls in grades 8, 9 and 10 could take part in the life of a female scientist. The Cluster of Excellence ImmunoSensation2 organizes exciting experiments and interesting insights into the life of a scientist together with the TRR259 and the TRR237.
On April 29th, Immunology Day is celebrated annually worldwide. This aims to raise global awareness of the importance of immunology and immunological research in the fight against infections, autoimmunity, and cancer. The Day of Immunology was created by the European Federation of Immunological Societies (EFIS) and took place for the first time on April 29, 2005. It has been celebrated worldwide since 2007. The day aims to increase public awareness of immunology and immunological research as the basis for individual health and well-being.
