Network & Collaborations

Fraunhofer Group for Health

Health research at Fraunhofer addresses the four key areas of medical science — drugs, diagnostics, devices and data, or 4D for short. Many innovations emerge at the interface between medical science, natural science, computer science and engineering. With its emphasis on transdisciplinary research, the Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft offers the perfect environment for close collaboration on health research and the development of cost-intelligent precision medicine for the benefit of patients.

Together with six other Fraunhofer Institutes, Fraunhofer IMTE is a member of the Fraunhofer Group for Health.
