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 June 18th, 2024, the University Hospital Düsseldorf successfully hosted the TRR259 International Symposium on Aortic Disease. The event took place in the lecture hall of the Surgery Department, drawing a distinguished group of experts from around the world to discuss cutting-edge research and advancements in the field of aortic disease.
The journal Bioengineering invites researchers, scientists and experts to contribute their innovative work to the upcoming special issue on Gene Delivery Tools for Biomedical Engineering Applications.
For years, our research team in the TRR259 has gathered groundbreaking insights into the aorta. Now, the European Association for Cardio-Thoracic Surgery (EACTS) and the American Society of Thoracic Surgeons (STS) have stipulated that the aorta should be considered as an independent organ in the human body.
Maria Laach, Germany - The TRR259 embarked on its second funding period with a successful Kick-Off Meeting held at the Seehotel Maria Laach on October 18-19, 2023.
