Research projects

Ronny Schulz’s research interests are mainly related to cartilage tissue and its unique biomechanical and mechano-biological properties as well as the conception of novel strategies for GMP-compliant bioreactor systems for the manufacture of three-dimensional artificial cartilage grafts.

His interest in cartilage tissue began in the year 2000 when he sustained a focal cartilage lesion in his left knee and discovered that no adequate therapy existed. He then did an internship at Co.don AG, the first commercial manufacturer of ACT (autologous chondrocyte transplantation) therapy in Germany, where his research focus included the evaluation of beneficial effects of electromagnetic fields on human periosteal cells. Ronny Schulz received the Diploma degree in Chemical Engineering and a focus in Biotechnology with the thesis "Development of a bioreactor system for an in vitro cultivation and stimulation of human chondrocytes", which was funded by 5th FP - Project “IMBIOTOR – a machine to process tissue engineered implants”. For his Ph.D. thesis with the topic “Advanced Tools for Articular Cartilage Tissue Engineering: Bioreactors, Monitoring, Scaffolds, and Defect Model”, he performed his research at the University of Leipzig with multiple interdisciplinary projects.

Since 2006 he has led “Cartilage / Bone Group” in a cooperative (funded by
Federal Ministry of Education and Research of Germany) project with a focus on the “Multiparametric Monitoring and Steering of Mesenchymal Stem Cell-derived Cartilage Formation in 3D Production Systems“.
His research focus also includes the monitoring of extracellular matrix components in autologous cartilage implants with novel and established techniques and methodologies, namely 13C-NMR-MAS spectroscopy, MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry and ultrasound biomicroscopy.

In parallel he established, together with surgeons of the Medical Faculty of Leipzig, a large animal model on merino sheep. This model uses a chronic, focal osteochondral defect in stifle joints to represent the similar aetiology and pathogenesis as seen at the human femoral condyle. Randomised preclinical studies using this model for matrix-coupled ACT have shown similar outcomes to human cases.
Since 2009 and 2011 he has been the principal investigator and study director
in the TRM (Translational Centre for Regenerative Medicine Leipzig) funded projects “Evaluation of tissue engineered MSC-based MACT in a GLP-study” and “Establishing the human MSC-based MACT as an Advanced Therapy Medicinal Product (ATMP)”, respectively. The aim of these preclinical studies is the development and evaluation of autologous MSC-based cartilage grafts as a cell-based medicinal product for the repair of focal osteochondral defects.
