About Us
The MDC strives to provide a vibrant innovation ecosystem that motivates our researchers to develop technologies and products for clinical application, and thus to make a meaningful impact on human health.
We are collaborating with external innovation partners including Ascenion, Berlin Health Innovation (joint Technology Transfer of Charité and BIH), Helmholtz Association, BBB Management and SPARK to encourage and educate researchers, to provide access to expertise and funding schemes and to facilitate cooperation projects with industry and the formation of spin-off companies.
