For Patients

Through biomedical translation, the BIH aims to transform scientific findings into therapies, products, and services for the benefit of patients. To achieve this, we involve you—as patients—in our scientific and clinical work. This enables us to create early-detection systems, design personalized prevention and diagnostic strategies, and ultimately develop and improve new therapies. Here you'll find opportunities to get involved in research as a patient, as well as opportunities to participate in clinical trials.

Information from Charité for Patients

The Berlin Institute of Health at Charité focuses its research and project activities on ultimately serving the well-being of patients. However, we are not a hospital. For answers to questions about specific on-site care as well as Charité’s treatment and service offerings, please visit the following link.
