Uwe Platzbecker

Professor Uwe Platzbecker is a faculty member at the University Hospital Carl Gustav Carus Dresden, affiliated with Technische Universität Dresden. His primary affiliation involves hematology research with a focus on regulatory mechanisms in blood cell production.

His research explores:

• Hematopoietic stem cell niche regulation, particularly iron's role in microenvironment signaling
• FGF-23 as a mediator in osteohematology (bone-blood system interactions)
• Molecular pathways connecting bone metabolism and hematopoiesis

He leads significant projects including a Collaborative Research Centre investigation into Iron regulation of the hematopoietic stem and progenitor cell niche and previously directed DFG-funded research on FGF-23 as a novel mediator in osteohematology.
