Through the development and implementation of science-based tools and policies, the group contributes to the alignment of internal administration and governance processes of incentives and research assessments with responsible research and innovation (RRI) as well as open sciences practices. The goal is to transfer best practice and knowledge into…
Systematic review and meta-analysis are research synthesis methods that clearly identify what we currently know, how reliable the evidence is, and where future research is needed. Using these tools, the “Preclinical systematic reviews and meta analyses” group aims to improve the validity, increase the value, and facilitate the translation of…
In July 2022, Tracy Weißgerber received the Paper of the Month award.
The group „Systemic Perspectives in Translational Biomedicine” investigates research processes in (preclinical) biomedical research. The path from an initial discovery to the patient is long and challenging. One important building block of successful translation is the generation of robust evidence. At BIH and beyond, we explore how such evidence…
The „Meta-Research and Automated Screening“ group examines ways to improve data visualisation, reporting of detailed methods and protocols, statistical analyses, and other factors that affect the rigor, reproducibility and transparency of biomedical research. Findings from meta-research studies allow us to develop targeted interventions to make…
The area of „Meta-Research and Translational Bioethics“ addresses epistemological and ethical issues in biomedical research. In empirical studies, we investigate how measures to promote trustworthiness, utility and ethics in biomedical research (e.g. publication of results, patient participation or informed consent) are directly implemented in…
Despite decades of worldwide efforts, the findings of experimental stroke research have hardly been translated into new therapeutic strategies that are promising for patients. Our group has been active in experimental and clinical stroke research since the 1990s and is one of the international leaders in this field. This gives us an outstanding…
