Fraunhofer, DESY and Campus partners EMBL & HEREON are planning to intensify their cooperation in several fields including research on life & health. We would like to cordially invite you to the hybrid workshop
Fraunhofer@DESY Campus – Focus on BioMed
on the 9th of November 2023, from 9:00 am to 1:00 pm
also, proudly supported by NINa e.V. The workshop invites professionals from different disciplines to exchange on current activities at PETRA III and future possibilities at PETRA IV in the field of life science and pharma, including areas related to imaging, diagnosis, material and treatment of diseases, and will provide insights on activities dealing with human and environmental health and materials science. Thus, this Fraunhofer workshop will be a perfect platform to share, experience, foster collaborations and projects across health care, pharmaceutical, biotech & diagnostic companies with hospitals and academic institutions.
Showcasing Science: Keynote speeches will showcase the unique research and service possibilities of Fraunhofer Institutes such as the Institute for Applied Polymer Research IAP and the Institute for Translational Medicine and Pharmacology ITMP and explore possible synergies between Fraunhofer and DESY including its campus partners EMBL and HEREON.
Teaming up for solutions: By debating current (industrial) challenges, we hope to learn how to help solve them by better aligning scientific service offers of Fraunhofer and the Hamburg Campus partners and “team up for solutions”.
So please register for this exciting exchange, which also includes a guided tour of the accelerator PETRA III.
