WE ARE DEVELOPING THE MEDICAL TECHNOLOGY OF TOMORROW
About us
In interdisciplinary teams from clinic, industry and science, we develop patient-friendly solutions for image-guided minimally invasive medicine. Clinicians define the needs, while interdisciplinary teams develop, test and integrate customised diagnostic and therapeutic technologies for oncology, neurology and cardiology. We improve healthcare of today and tomorrow as a research and innovation centre for image-based medicine.
Our public-private partnership is formed by Otto von Guericke University Magdeburg, Siemens Healthineers AG and the STIMULATE Association with over 40 members from the medical technology industry and science.
At our latest STIMULATE Colloquium, Katrin Bombitzki, Chief Export Control Officer at OVGU, provided valuable insights into export control, research security, legal requirements and risk assessment in international research collaborations.
A highly relevant topic for researchers working across borders and disciplines.
Python programming course for (medical) students. Since May 2024, learn free of charge and independent of time in order to later be able to implement applications for processing large amounts of data in medicine.
