The German Centers for Health Research (DZG)
Launched by the German Federal Ministry of Research and Education (BMBF), the German Centers for Health Research (DZG) are dedicated to combating major common diseases. The alliance of non-university research institutions with universities and university hospitals strengthens the translational approach of bringing research results to patients more quickly. The DZGs work closely together, carry out joint projects and exploit potential synergies.
DZG Overarching Projects
The goal of all German Centers for Health Research is translation: the faster implementation of research results in medical practice. Frequently, widespread diseases have similar underlying causes, and in order to gain further insights and clarify correlations here, scientific projects are implemented jointly.
The DZG's overarching working groups and activities are presented at deutschezentren.de/en.
