RIEGGER LAB
Welcome to our homepage!
Our research lab is located at the Nikolaus Fiebiger Center for Molecular Medicine and is affiliated with the Department of Orthopedics and Trauma Surgery, University Hospital Erlangen.
Part of our research team also maintains an affiliation with the Division of Experimental Orthopedics (Head: Prof. Zsuzsa Jenei-Lanzl) at the Department of Orthopedics, University of Ulm.
We investigate the cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying musculoskeletal diseases, with the aim of understanding how injury, inflammation, and ageing determine cell fate and tissue regeneration. By combining mechanistic and translational research, we seek to identify novel therapeutic targets and strategies.

From cellular stress to cell fate –
understanding degeneration and regeneration in musculoskeletal tissues.
