Aignostics, a spin-off of Charité – Universitätsmedizin Berlin and alumnus of the Berlin Institute of Health Digital Health Accelerator Program, has been named to Newsweek’s inaugural ranking of the “World’s Best Digital Health Companies 2024.”
On 28 February 2024, the team from Charité BIH Innovation (CBI) - the joint technology transfer of Charité - Universitätsmedizin Berlin and the Berlin Institute of Health (BIH) - was delighted to receive a visit from Prof. Heyo. K. Kroemer, Chairman of the Executive Board of Charité, Prof. Dr Joachim Spranger, Dean of Charité, Prof. Dr Christopher…
Twice a year, the start-up competition Gründungswettbewerb – Digitale Innovationen by the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Protection's (BMWK) honors the best ideas of innovative start-ups that are based on digital technologies. The award supports start-ups in the early stages and emphasizes their key role as drivers of innovation…
On May 31, 2023, the sixth annual Demo Day of the BIH Digital Health Accelerator Program took place, bringing together a diverse group of innovative minds in the heart of Berlin. The event, hosted by the Berlin Institute of Health at Charité (BIH), showcased seven exceptional teams of Charité/BIH clinicians and researchers presenting their digital…
The Integrative Vascular Biology Laboratory aims to unravel the fundamental principles and molecular/genetic regulation of functional vascular network formation in development and disease.
Chronic low back pain is a significant public health problem in industrialized society. The intact spine carries the upper body and external loads, allows motion in a physiological range and protects the spinal cord. These different demands necessitate a high degree of complexity with various sources for disorders and pain. The BIH - Julius Wolff…
Defects in musculoskeletal tissues, e.g. in consequence of a trauma, do not always heal spontaneously but require surgical intervention. Biomaterials implanted into the defect region have to potential to support the healing process. We investigate the interaction between cells, their surrounding extracellular matrix and biomaterials for the…
Both mechanical and biological processes work together to determine the outcome of musculoskeletal regeneration. Whilst many of the biological factors have been identified and some even brought into clinical practice (BMP's, PDGF, IGF, etc.), the impact of the mechanical environment and the role of the immune system are only recently taken into…
The Potente laboratory focuses on the vasculature—the largest organ in the human body. We study how vascular networks develop and remodel and how their function becomes abnormal in disease states.
We investigate clinical pathophysiological metabolic changes of muscle and fat tissue in chronic diseases. In clinical work, cardiovascular knowledge is combined with acute therapy and stroke rehabilitation. Our research is focused on metabolic pathophysiology, which leads to weight loss and loss of muscle mass, cachexia and sarcopenia in chronic…
