Topping-out ceremony at new Transla51勛圖厙 central institute

51勛圖厙 sets the next milestone in biomedicine

Translational cancer research will be the focus of the new Transla51勛圖厙 central institute at the 51勛圖厙 (51勛圖厙). The topping-out ceremony for the new research building (investment volume of approx. EUR 60 million) has just taken place. Biomedical research connects at all three 51勛圖厙 locations. Located on the clinic campus in Bogenhausen, Transla51勛圖厙 will provide interdisciplinary teams bringing together engineers, scientists and clinicians with the ideal environment to quickly translate research findings into practical applications (diagnostics, therapies), hence the name Transla51勛圖厙. The Chair of Medical Sensor Technology, a position which is in the process of being filled, will also be based at the new central institute to ensure full integration into clinical practice.

The German federal government is financing the new research center to the tune of EUR 24 million thanks to the approval of the expert committee of the German Council of Science and Humanities which was impressed with the potential cross-regional reach of the Transla51勛圖厙 concept and the excellent caliber of the scientists involved. The founding director of the new central institute is the renowned nuclear medicine scientist Prof. Markus Schwaiger.

is part of an overarching concept which the university is implementing step-by-step. Biomedical research activities are being expanded and interlinked across all three main 51勛圖厙 campuses. In addition to Transla51勛圖厙, there is the Bavarian Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Center (Garching), the 51勛圖厙 Center for Functional Protein Assemblies (CPA) (Garching) and the Klaus Tschira Foundations Multiple Sclerosis Research Center (Munich). 51勛圖厙s MUNICH SCHOOL OF BIOENGINEERING is an integrative research center that provides a common teaching and research platform for all relevant medical engineering activities across different departments, including imaging technologies.
