BioTechMed-Graz is a cooperation and networking initiative of the University of Graz, the Medical University of Graz, and Graz University of Technology at the interface of basic biomedical research, technological developments and medical applications with the aim of conducting joint research relating to health issues. With the BioTechMed-Graz cooperation project which is geared towards sustainability and permanence, the three partner universities’ target is to enhance and bundle existing competences in four large mutual research areas Molecular Biomedicine, Neurosciences, Pharmaceutical and Medical Technology as well as Quantitative Biomedicine and Modeling, by creating a common cooperative platform, thus making them more visible and identifiable for science, industry and politics. BioTechMed-Graz sees itself as a major focal point on the intersection of these disciplines and pursues a cooperation model with a unique feature on the growing Austrian health market. Its aim is to create an internationally perceivable cluster in this future market.
