“Research for Health”: This is the slogan under which the German Centers for Health Research publish the SYNERGIE magazine twice a year and report on projects and successes in translational research.
SYNERGIE – The Magazine of the DZG
About the German Centers for Health Research:
The main aim of the German government’s health research program is to combat particularly common diseases, i.e., widespread diseases, more effectively. By establishing the DZG as long-term, equal partnerships of non-university research institutions with universities and university hospitals, the Federal Ministry of Research, Technology and Space (BMFTR) and the federal states are creating the conditions for reaching this aim.
Several thousand basic researchers, clinical researchers and physicians are working in one of Germany’s largest health research networks to bring medical progress to patients faster – across research disciplines and organizations.
