WULS is to receive a sum of over PLN 66.6 million from EU funding for the development of research facilities.

The Warsaw University of Life Sciences will receive EU support for the establishment of the Centre of Regenerative Medicine and the purchase of advanced research equipment, which will enable the development of innovative research in the area of ​​clinical sciences, physiological sciences and advanced regenerative medicine. Under a decision by the board of the Mazovia Province, the project will receive a sum of over PLN 66.6 million in funding under the ROP MR 2014-2020. The agreement on this matter was signed by the Region’s Chairman Adam Struzik and the Rector of the Warsaw University of Life Sciences, Wiesław Bielawski.

The investment project involves the creation of new laboratories and the adaptation of existing premises for the purposes of the Centre of Regenerative Medicine - the creation of an integrated set of laboratories featuring innovative equipment for animal research. CRM will implement modern projects on the borderline of medicine and veterinary medicine, in accordance with the generally accepted principle of "one world - one health". It will operate in the field of physiology and pathophysiology of diseases, research on diseases and conditions that pose a threat to broadly conceived public health, and innovative research in the field of highly specialised regenerative medicine.

Thanks to the purchase of the world’s most advanced equipment, the Warsaw University of Life Sciences, the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, and the Department of Diseases of Large Animals with a Clinic, will gain enormous potential to participate, even more than before, in the implementation of R&D projects in the use of new research techniques, treatment and diagnosis by medical and veterinary doctors and biotechnology biologists. Experimental research on therapy of diseases and the development of new research techniques in the field of broadly conceived veterinary, biomedical and natural sciences, will be conducted in the new laboratories and workshops. It will also be possible to conduct ultramodern interdisciplinary and innovative research on the borderline of nanotechnology, tissue engineering and transplantology.

The Centre of Regenerative Medicine will create wide-ranging research opportunities in the field of clinical, physiological and molecular biology sciences based on modern research techniques that meet the highest world standards. The planned research will contribute to accelerating the pace of development of veterinary, medical and biotechnological sciences in Poland.
