Sustainability report - 31/08/2023 ReKlimaMed: how effective is the German healthcare sector when it comes to sustainability? Hospitals, care facilities and the healthcare industry, together with laboratories, private practices and pharmacies, ensure our medical care, but in so doing they produce enormous amounts of greenhouse gases and consume many resources. The ReKlimaMed report prepared by the viamedica foundation presents an inventory of current sustainable activities, and provides stakeholders with information and recommendations for action.https://www.gesundheitsindustrie-bw.de/en/article/news/reklimamed-how-effective-german-healthcare-sector-when-it-comes-sustainability
Press release - 15/05/2024 Tumour tissue on a chip: new possibilities for cell therapies and personalized medicine How do tumors react to a certain therapeutic approach? Knowing this before the start of a therapy would be of enormous value for people suffering from cancer as well as for the doctors treating them. Researchers have now made this very observation possible for the CAR-T cell therapy. This allows us to individually investigate how exactly these tumor cells react to the planned therapy.https://www.gesundheitsindustrie-bw.de/en/article/press-release/tumour-tissue-chip-new-possibilities-cell-therapies-and-personalized-medicine
Press release - 23/05/2024 Predicting cancer risks on the basis of national health data Scientists from the German Cancer Research Center (DKFZ) and the European Bioinformatics Institute EMBL-EBI, Hinxton, UK, are using the Danish health registers to predict individual risks for 20 different types of cancer with a high degree of accuracy. The prediction model can also be transferred to other healthcare systems. https://www.gesundheitsindustrie-bw.de/en/article/press-release/predicting-cancer-risks-basis-national-health-data
New edition - 24/05/2019 Tumour metastasis Cancer is usually not curable when metastases have formed in the body. Metastases are often resistant to drugs that have successfully eliminated the primary tumour. The basic features of the complex process of metastasis are now known, but many details still remain elusive. Intensive research activities are focusing on new therapeutic concepts aimed at developing effective anti-metastatic therapies.https://www.gesundheitsindustrie-bw.de/en/article/dossier/tumour-metastasis
Health Data Futures project - 11/01/2024 Creating a network of trust In the three-nation project "Health Data Futures", stakeholders and experts from Germany, France and Switzerland have launched a series of patient-centred innovations. Using various future scenarios, the project partners may be able to come up with even more scenarios.https://www.gesundheitsindustrie-bw.de/en/article/news/creating-network-trust
Press release - 24/05/2024 Research Training Group on Cancer Surgery: German Research Foundation approves second funding period Since 2019, the Research Training Group (RTG) "Intraoperative Multisensoric Tissue Differentiation in Oncology," a collaboration between the University of Stuttgart and the University of Tübingen, has been advancing research in medical technology. With the help of new sensor methods, the researchers want to help make surgical procedures on cancer patients safer and more effective.https://www.gesundheitsindustrie-bw.de/en/article/press-release/research-training-group-cancer-surgery-german-research-foundation-approves-second-funding-period
