A new surgical system at the Department of Neurosurgery at Heidelberg University Hospital helps surgeons precisely plan procedures on the brain, spine, and skull base, monitor them during surgery, and perform them with millimeter precision. The “Robotic Surgery Suite,” which cost approximately 1.6 million euros, combines live imaging, digital navigation, and robotic assistance directly in […]

Scientists from Heidelberg and Freiburg identify the mechanism by which proteins assemble into stable complexes in mitochondria A tiny processing step has far-reaching consequences for mitochondrial function: The removal of a single amino acid determines whether new proteins can assemble into stable complexes within these cellular powerhouses. This process is carried out by a specific […]

New findings illuminate mechanisms of protein production, transport, and folding in bacterial cells, but also establish a new way to study cellular ‘cities’, exploring molecular ‘communities’ rather than molecules in isolation Summary Scientists have often thought of cells as small bustling cities with parts that resemble factories, power grids, and shipping systems. And while past […]

New Haven, CT, USA, September 29, 2026 – BioMed X, a leading innovation engine for pharma, today announced the start of a new research team in collaboration with AbbVie at the BioMed X Institute in New Haven, Connecticut. The new project, entitled “Circuit-Based Model Systems of Anhedonia” (CMA), will be led by BioMed X innovation […]

Non-communicable diseases such as neurodegeneration, metabolic disorders, and autoimmune disease are growing in incidence, highlighting the urgent need to develop new treatments and therapies. Unlike pathogen-driven diseases, which can be tackled by eliminating the infectious agent or enhancing patient immunity, non-communicable diseases often require targeting of multiple dysregulated endogenous molecules that drive chronic sterile inflammation. […]

Heidelberg Faculty of Medicine coordinates European collaborative project An international consortium led by researchers at the Heidelberg Faculty of Medicine at Heidelberg University will develop an AI-powered interactive assistant for the analysis of patient experiences over the next four years. The goal is to identify individual burdens and challenges early and comprehensively and make this […]
