Magdeburg receives 8 million for groundbreaking medical research!

In a pleasant turn for medical research in Germany, the "Solution Center for Image Guided Local Therapy" (stimulate) at the Otto-von Guericke University Magdeburg receives impressive funding of around eight million euros. These funds come from the Federal Ministry of Education, Research, Technology and Space (BMFTR) and are intended for the further development of minimally invasive medical imaging processes. This not only supports research, but also paves the way to clinical application. According to ÄrzteBlatt Step to strengthen regional health care.

The research campus stimulate was launched as a private public partnership in 2013 and combines over 35 partner companies from home and abroad, including well-known companies such as Siemens Healthineers. Active cooperation with these partners is particularly important for the further development of innovative therapy approaches. From October 2023, the scientists of the campus want to intensify their cooperation with medical institutions all over Germany in order to work together to combat cancer and neurovascular and cardiovascular diseases.

research under one roof

But what is behind this concept? The funding initiative "Research Campus" is characterized by promoting an open innovation and venture culture. This initiative supports nine research campi that pursue the goal of developing innovative products and business ideas from top research faster. This enables an individual implementation, depending on the focus of the research campus. The transfer of knowledge and technological results into high -quality medical devices and clinical processes is promoted. The website of the Research campus .

A look into the future

With the support of the BMFTR, the research campus stimulates has the opportunity to continue to become an international hub in medical technology. This development could not only improve medical care on site, but also make a valuable contribution to the fight against common diseases. The program has now received more than 96 million euros in funding, which underlines the high priority of research in this area.

Especially in times when medical progress is of great importance, it is important to promote such initiatives. The combination of science and practical benefit has the potential to sustainably improve health care in Germany and to open new ways in imaging and therapy.
