The QUEST Center conducts projects in various areas.

The unique feature of our projects is their practical and translational focus: we seek to test new approaches in design, analysis and reporting in biomedical research, both preclinical and clinical, to improve translation of research results into clinical care.

The projects are, among others, identified and evaluated by so-called "meta-research", i.e. research on research. The focus of our projects lies on Open Science, Stakeholder Engagement, Incentives & Indicators as well as Quality Assurance (see filter below).

    6R in Organ Model Research

    Advanced in vitro models have strong potential to complement or substitute animal experiments and improve translational research. We collaborate with organ model researchers to develop and implement measures towards robust organ models and enhance their broad acceptance via 6R strategies.

  • Quality Assurance Closed

    A qualitative study on the basis of expert interviews

    In response to what has been called the “reproducibility crisis”, institutions and granting agencies have begun to implement changes in how biomedical research activity is rewarded and funded. The aim of the project was to gain a better understanding of how different stakeholders view these ongoing reforms.

  • Open Science Ongoing

    ANONY-MED

    ANONY-MED creates an ethically aligned, trustworthy AI toolbox for privacy-preserving data synthesis using generative AI methods like GANs and homomorphic encryption in healthcare. This advances AI models in radiology, cardiology, and stroke therapy, while ensuring transparency and robustness.
