How Big Data accelerates drug development
The contract research organization Alcedis, founded in Giessen, knows how to accelerate the drug development process with the help of innovative software systems – for the benefit of medicine and patients.
Industry & Technology
Robots for rehabilitation medicine or innovative technologies for pharmaceutical packaging are just two examples of how industrial developments are boosting the future of medicine. High-tech microscopes and the latest imaging techniques are used to ensure the well-being and health of patients – and also efficient production and distribution methods for aids such as glasses, wheeled walkers (rollators), etc. Industry and technology in central Hessen offers a large spectrum of healthcare applications.
Laser microdissection: Better research for cancer
Early detection of cancer can save lives. Laser microdissection enables specific cell examinations and precise cancer research.
Freeze drying: technology with guaranteed durability
Vaccines, antibiotics, hormones and proteins travel a long way from production to patient. Medicines that are well packaged by freeze drying, retain their full effectiveness.
