Partner Info:
HMGU, the National Research Center for Environmental Health of the German Government and the State of Bavaria, is a member of the Helmholtz Association of National Research Centers contributing to the foundation of future Medicine and Health Care. It consists of 22 institutes and 3 independent departments. It employs more than 1600 scientists, students and technical staff and runs a budget of 156 Million Euro.
TUM is one of Europe’s leading research universities. With roughly 400 professors and 7,000 additional staff, it offers academic and research opportunities to nearly 23,500 students. More than 15 % of its staff and nearly 20 % of its students come from abroad, creating a university culture which is cosmopolitan and hospitable. In Europe and worldwide, TUM maintains nearly 400 university partnerships, and collaborates with many international research institution.
IBMI is a highly interdisciplinary Institute with focus on the development of imaging technologies in basic research, pre-clinical research and drug discovery and in clinical applications. IBMI employs scientists and engineers with focus on imaging technology development, image processing and reconstruction and the development and use of animal models for developing in-vivo imaging applications with a view towards improving understanding on disease development and treatment and clinical translation. The Institute has direct access to animal models of cancer and close ties to the German Mouse Clinic housed at HMGU. The Institute occupies ~1000m2 of modern laboratory and office space at the HMGU facilities at Neuheberg and ~120m2 of modern office and laboratory space at the city campus of the Technical University of Munich.
