We are pleased to look back on this year’s TRR369 DIONE International Retreat, held in the beautiful setting of Kloster Holzen. During the two intensive and inspiring days, the members of the DIONE consortium exchanged up-to-date information on their ongoing research projects and used the networking opportunities to establish new scientific collaborations.
A particular highlight were the talks of the guests Prof. Geert Carmeliet (Leuven) and Prof. Claudine Blin (Nice), who generously offered fascinating insights into their research and gave us valuable assessments of the scientific status of the consortium. We thank you for your participation and impressive contributions!
DIONE is an interdisciplinary research network at the Erlangen, Dresden, Ulm and Dortmund sites, which is headed by Prof Aline Bozec and Prof Martina Rauner and has been funded by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) – German Research Foundation since 2024.
The research objective of the Collaborative Research Centre/Transregio 369 ‘DIONE’ (DegeneratIon of bONE induced by inflammation) is to understand and specifically influence the complex interactions between the immune system and bone tissue in inflammation-induced bone loss. The long-term goal of DIONE is to develop new therapeutic approaches for the treatment of inflammation-related bone diseases and to pave the way for innovative therapies.
