What defines the position

A core area of university medicine is translational research, in which results from basic research are transferred into new preventive, therapeutic, or diagnostic procedures for application in humans. For a successful translation process, close interaction between basic research, clinical research, and university healthcare is required, where physicians, natural scientists, and researchers from different disciplines work closely together. The common goal of all is the continuous and sustained improvement of the treatment of affected patients.

The Prodekanat für Klinische Forschung und Translation (PfKFT) supports translational research and thus the clinical researchers at UKE in the implementation of their projects.
