Ulm University Hospital maintains an extensive network with cooperating institutions in order to provide patients with cutting-edge medical care at the highest level. This enables resources to be pooled efficiently, expertise to be used optimally and fruitful synergies to be created. At the same time, the participating clinics, institutes, centres and other partners benefit from interdisciplinary cooperation, which ultimately improves the quality of care. The interplay between different players is particularly essential for medical translation, i.e. the rapid transfer of research findings into clinical application for the purpose of further developing and improving prevention, diagnosis and therapy.
