Our objectives cover and interconnect three focal points at which we look at medicine: scientific, educational, and diplomatic.
SCIENTIFIC OBJECTIVES
Execution of multilateral international research projects and promotion of academic exchange of medical professionals and scientists globally.
Form teams of leading professionals and young researchers from various countries for the purpose of multi-centric work on common translational and clinical research projects.
The translational research of the IMDI Science Center covers areas of: cancer research, stem cell research, translational immunology, genomics, proteomics, neuroscience, Alzheimer’s disease research working hand in hand with biotechnology and related areas of pharmaceuticals.
The clinical research of the IMDI Science Center covers diverse areas of applied research and pilot trials focused on the entities of: breast cancer, ovarian and cervical cancer, brain tumors, immunotherapy in all oncological entities and clinical Alzheimer's disease trials.
Establish IMDI Science Center in Heidelberg to coordinate all IMDI projects, conducted multicentric in the partner institutions. Provide equipment and know-how in order to support the collaborating institutions.
Publish data of high practical value for therapy and diagnostics (selected from the conducted research), including analyzed pooled cohorts of IMDI partner institutions in clinical or translational research.
Establish a peer-reviewed PubMed indexed medical scientific journal, publishing the results of translational and clinical research from both Western and Eastern Europe, including Russia, on regular basis.
Provide continuous access to funding for research projects. |
EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVES
Education of a new generation of researchers and medical doctors based on IMDI’s vast human resources and mentoring of partner experts.
Provide fellowship and internship places at top level institutions in Europe and USA under direct mentoring of leading experts with an intensive follow-up.
Provide scholarships for young talented researchers through donations and sponsorships.
Organize CME (Continuing Medical Education) in form of accredited clinical courses, seminars, hands-on workshops, IMDI Distinguished Lecturer Series, IMDI Tech Talk, as well as thematic congresses and conferences, in collaboration and under auspices of global and continental federations of societies in all specialist fields of medicine.
DIPLOMATIC OBJECTIVES
Building partnerships between medicine, research and decision makers in business and politics.
