Our partner, the Life Science Center Mainz (LZM), has released its first issue of “MagSci”: a magazine focusing on the biotech and life sciences ecosystem in Rhineland-Palatinate and the Rhine-Main region—and we’re proud to be featured in this issue! “With its experience in supporting startups, fostering collaboration between science and industry, and providing access to investors, the LZM plays a key role in the further development of the curATime ecosystem.”
Wir heißen unsere neuen Partner willkommen

In the project microbAIome, Sven-Ernö Bikár’s team is using a rapid metabarcoding approach to quantify genes involved in sphingolipid metabolism in order to determine the risk of atherothrombotic diseases.
curATime auf der re:publica 2026
curATime is part of Germany’s innovation hubs – and together we will present ourselves at the re:publica 2026 digital trade fair in Berlin. There, we will showcase our success stories together, because while there is much discussion about Germany’s capacity for innovation, it has long been happening—in the country’s innovation clusters.
We are welcoming our new partners
We have started the second implementation phase, and are excited to welcome new partners on board: Prof. Robert Zweigerdt and his team from Hannover Medical School are part of our new project curARace.
They bring their expertise in generating heart cells, which form the basis for heart regeneration following a heart attack.
We are really looking forward to this collaboration!
