THE PATIENT IN FOCUS
Our motivation is to offer patients the best possible medical care. This requires understanding the disease in all its details, and from this understanding to develop the best possible therapies that are even more effective and safe.
Our team, consisting of highly qualified specialists from medicine, research and laboratory technology, is, in addition to its always up-to-date qualification standards
always close to the study participant. Because the well-being of a patient is very important to us.
PRINCIPLES OF OUR DAILY WORK IN CLINICAL RESEARCH
The well-being and safety of our patients is always our top priority.
The legal requirements as well as the ethical and moral principles of our medical practice must always be followed.
The results of the extensive examinations, which usually go far beyond regular diagnostics, are fully available to the patient.
