Description: Center of competence for innovative diabetes therapy. Translate innovative research into clinical applications.

Example domain paragraphs

A new Center of Competence will be established at the German Diabetes Center (DDZ) during the next three years based on a total funding of about 3.5 Mio Euro provided by Northrhine-Westphalia and the EU. A consortium of eight partners from industry and academia will focus on the development of new diabetes therapies. The new center is coordinated by DDZ and aims at efficient translation of new research results into clinical application, finally improving therapeutic options for diabetic patients.

In Northrhine-Westphalia, excellent basic research in the field of clinical-experimental diabetes studies is conducted for a long time. However, translation of these results into clinical applications is not yet sufficient to generate an economic boost. For start-ups and small companies with high innovation potential it is often not possible to carry out extensive experimental and clinical research with sufficient critical mass. At this point, the new Center of Competence provides strategic support. Leading

This novel research infrastructure provides a strong boost for the pharma and biotech sector in Northrhine-Westphalia and supports innovation and competitiveness in NRW. The project is funded within the program “EFRE.NRW – Investitionen in Wachstum und Beschäftigung” supported by NRW and the Europen Union.
