Helmholtz Biomedical Engineering
Engineering future health - from early detection to precision care
Our Mission
Helmholtz Biomedical Engineering connects Helmholtz Centers, research institutions, universities, hospitals, industry and additional stakeholders across research fields. The initiative’s ambition is to accelerate the transfer of new discoveries and technologies into health solutions. With Biomedical Engineering concepts and six defined flagships at its core, the initative is thriving on a first cohort of 10 funded projects (below).
The Initiative current emphasis is to position:
-
as crucial enabler of translation
-
a distinct and independent scientific discipline
-
powerful driver of health technologies and solutions
The Helmholtz Center Munich based coordination unit aims to
-
establish a national biomedical engineering community
-
create opportunities for collaboration and exchange
-
identify, explore and facilitate partnerships for future funding
