Worldwide Pioneer in Stem Cells Research:

Professor Dr. Ernst von Schwarz is considered a worldwide pioneer in the field of stem cell research.  His extensive knowledge and vast experience stretch over 30 years.  He was the first in the world to use embryonic cells during 1996 in experimental animal studies to show regeneration of damaged tissue with improvement of organ function.

He has used stem cells to regenerate diseases of the heart and vascular system to treat chronic lung diseases, chronic degenerative brain diseases as well as acute injuries.  During the past 10 years he developed a stem cell anti-aging system for facial, body and hair rejuvenation which has proven highly successful with A-List celebrities worldwide being treated by him.

Professor Dr. Ernst von Schwarz has been quoted as saying “Stem cell therapy is the future of medicine.”

World Expert:

Professor Dr. Ernst von Schwarz is considered a world expert in the fields of hibernating myocardium, a condition where the heart shows a reduction in strength and in myocardial bridges for which he created a scientific nomenclature based on years of intensive invasive studies using micro transfuses in the heart which is a congenital abnormality of the arteries within the heart.

Areas of Research Interest:

Acute and chronic myocardial ischemia, cardio protection, interventional cardiology, interventional therapy in end-stage heart failure, cardiac transplantation, sexual function and cardiac disease.

Major Clinical Interests:

Interventional cardiology, acute and chronic myocardial ischemia, heart failure, sexual function, cardiac disease and cardiac transplantation.
