Welcome to the Apheresis Research Institute!
The Apheresis Research Institute specialises in clinical research, development and quality assurance of procedures for extracorporeal blood purification and therapeutic apheresis. We promote the use of these therapy methods and provide advice and support. Our aim is to gain scientific knowledge and transfer it into clinical practice. In addition, the Institute deals with all issues relating to the reimbursement and authorisation of extracorporeal therapy procedures.
Expertise in extracorporeal blood purification and therapeutic apheresis
Our aim is to transfer and implement scientific findings into clinical practice more quickly. In addition, the Institute analyses a wide range of issues relating to reimbursement in the inpatient and outpatient sector and the approval of extracorporeal procedures.
The Apheresis Research Institute comprises a qualified team of doctors and scientists specialising in various disciplines. As part of the research projects, there are intensive contacts and co-operations with universities, clinics and institutes in Germany and Europe, the USA and Japan. Selected projects are funded by the German foundation centre of the Stifterverband für die Deutsche Wissenschaft e.V. (Donors' association for the promotion of sciences and humanities in Germany).
