Clinical Cooperations
Translational Research at Helmholtz Zentrum München
The objective of translational research is to transfer knowlegde that has been acquired by basic research into practical use and turn it into innovation. Successful project development essentially relies on a value driven cooperation of different disciplines and a close exchange between basic scientists and clinicians.
This interdisciplinary research approach is realized within Translational Research Centers and the following Clinical Cooperations:
Diabetes
