We are characterised by our interdisciplinary work: in our three research programmes (Disease Mechanisms and Targets; Biomarkers; Bio-Imaging) we combine our expertise in method developing with the in-depth knowledge of researchers from our translational research departments and groups. Currently the scientific work at ISAS is structured into three departments with a total of eleven research groups. The scientists are supported by the institute's scientific-technical services, which are assigned either to the work groups themselves or, in the Bioanalytics department, to Technical Services Bioanalytics.
