In the Translational Research department we want to better understand the fundamentals underlying illnesses and to find new ways to diagnose these illnesses at the earliest possible stage. Biomedical Research is an interdisciplinary field at the border between biology, physics and medicine.
We are investigating key molecular events to identify targets and biomarkers in cardiovascular diseases, in particular cardiomyopathies and heart failure; developing and improving analytical assays using miniaturized plasma sources and dielectrically hindered electrospray; and finally analyzing bioactive surfaces and their interaction with their environment in terms of molecular organization, transport, catalytic reactions and biological compatibility.
The working groups involved here (Cardiovascular Pharmacology, NMR Metabolomics, Miniaturisation) work together to continuously improve biomedical research in the fields of analytics, therapeutics and sustainability.
