Podcast on the "4D Clinic - Interdisciplinary Help for People with Immune Diseases"

Immune diseases, such as rheumatism or psoriasis, are systemic diseases that often affect several organ systems simultaneously. An interdisciplinary approach is absolutely necessary for the optimal care of patients. This is implemented at Fraunhofer ITMP in the concept of the 4D Clinic. Professor Frank Behrens, deputy director of the institute, describes in the Fraunhofer podcast why the 4D Clinic is unique and what the concept can achieve for patients and research.

Research Divisions

Fraunhofer ITMP is organized in 3 cross-site research divisions.

 

Drug Discovery

 

From target to screening to lead optimization and formulation.

 

Preclinical Research

 

Translational cycles and OMICs analyses for characterization of biological mechanisms and novel targets.

 

Clinical Research

 

From „Proof-of-Concept“ to the characterization of established products: “Quality by Design” for successful translation of innovative ideas.

Innovation Areas

Fraunhofer ITMP is optimally interconnected internally as well as externally with other Fraunhofer institutes, universities and industry via the innovation areas. This is the prerequisite for transdisciplinary and flexible cooperation in the areas of new technologies, disease and treatment concepts.
