The Center for Medical Physics and Biomedical Engineering provides
- a uniquely comprehensive environment for translational research at the interface of technology and medicine
- Its exceptionally broad spectrum of scientific disciplines and technological capabilities enables the entire innovation pathway—from fundamental research and the development of cutting-edge technologies to prototyping, preclinical and clinical validation, and ultimately translation into patient care
- Embedded within the Vienna General Hospital (AKH), one of Europe’s largest university hospitals, the Center combines technological excellence with immediate access to clinical expertise, infrastructure, and unmet medical needs
- Close collaborations with leading international industry partners, a strong track record of patents and successful spin-offs, and dedicated in-house Regulatory Affairs expertise for medical devices and IVDs further accelerate the translation of scientific discoveries into clinically relevant solutions
This combination of scientific breadth, technological depth, clinical integration, industry interaction, entrepreneurship, and regulatory expertise creates an end-to-end translational ecosystem that is exceptional within academic medical research.
