BioMed X Insights Press Releases In the Media

Our Network

We work with inspiring people from science and business to connect with the crowd.

Scientific Publications

For us at BioMed X, publishing the results of our research projects in peer-reviewed journals is key. We also share results at national and international meetings and workshops. We think this is vital to building collaborations and stimulating cross-fertilization of ideas and methods.

Completed Projects

Since 2013 we have started 16 research groups and successfully completed 9 projects. After a project term of 5 years all data, materials and intellectual property rights are transferred to the sponsoring partners.

Our Network Partners

We are part of a strong network within the Rhine-Neckar Metropolitan Region and foster a fertile ecosystem for research in the life sciences.
