EMBL and the six Helmholtz Centers of the Research Field Health (Helmholtz Health) are expanding their collaboration. The two research organisations are cooperating to expand the frontiers of health research and advance scientific progress for human health<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Data science, microbiome research, environmental research, infection biology, and health and disease research with a special focus on cancer and antibiotics \u2013 these interdisciplinary topics are the focus of the memorandum of understanding (MoU) signed by EMBL and Helmholtz Health<\/a>. With this agreement, the two organisations will join forces to address pressing challenges for science and society. They hope to further advance European research in the fields of prevention, epidemiology, and personalised medicine, as well as contribute to knowledge and technology transfer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis collaboration between Helmholtz Health and EMBL will enable more efficient responses to societal challenges, such as future pandemics, climate change, and antimicrobial resistance,\u201d said EMBL Director General Edith Heard. \u201cBy working together in the areas of human ecosystems, infection biology, and environmental biology, we can improve human and planetary health.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Otmar D. Wiestler, President of the Helmholtz Association, said: \u201cEMBL and Helmholtz Health combine their enormous strengths across countries and disciplines and are building up extraordinary scientific expertise. We need creative and innovative approaches in health research to consistently advance the topic of prevention. At the same time, with this cooperation we offer talented young scientists on both sides the unique opportunity to conduct interdisciplinary research at EMBL and Helmholtz.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe scientific interests of EMBL and Helmholtz Health complement each other perfectly, so that the collaborations can add real value to research and thus bring tangible benefits to health,\u201d said Michael Baumann, Vice-President for the Research Field Health and Chairman of the Board of the German Cancer Research Center (DKFZ).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the Helmholtz Association, 18 scientific-technical and medical-biological research centres work together strategically and programmatically in six research fields. In the field of health, the six centres that make up Helmholtz Health focus on the early detection and early treatment of diseases for a healthy and long life. The six centres are the German Cancer Research Center<\/a>, the German Center for Neurodegenerative Diseases (DZNE)<\/a>, the Helmholtz Centre for Infection Research (HZI)<\/a>, the Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf<\/a>, the German Research Center for Environmental Health (HMGU)<\/a> and the Max Delbr\u00fcck Center for Molecular Medicine in the Helmholtz Association (MDC)<\/a>. EMBL, the European flagship laboratory for life sciences, conducts basic research in molecular biology and explores the history of life. The new MoU extends existing relationships between EMBL and individual Helmholtz Centers. This includes a local alliance with the German Electron Synchrotron (DESY)<\/a> and an MoU on joint research projects with the German Cancer Research Centere (DKFZ)<\/a>. EMBL scientists also cooperate with researchers at other Helmholtz Health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

EMBL und die sechs Helmholtz-Zentren des Forschungsbereichs Gesundheit (Helmholtz Health) intensivieren ihre Zusammenarbeit. Damit kooperieren zwei herausragende Forschungsorganisationen, um die Grenzen der Gesundheitsforschung zu erweitern und den wissenschaftlichen Fortschritt f\u00fcr die Gesundheit der Menschen voranzubringen.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Data Science, Mikrobiomforschung, Umweltforschung, Infektionsbiologie sowie Gesundheits- und Krankheitsforschung mit besonderem Fokus auf Krebs- und Antibiotika \u2013 diese interdisziplin\u00e4ren Themen stehen im Mittelpunkt der vom Europ\u00e4ischen Laboratorium f\u00fcr Molekularbiologie (EMBL) und vom Helmholtz Forschungsbereich Gesundheit (Helmholtz Health<\/a>) unterzeichneten Absichtserkl\u00e4rung. Mit der Vereinbarung wollen EMBL und Helmholtz Health ihre Zusammenarbeit  intensivieren und ihre Kr\u00e4fte b\u00fcndeln, um die dr\u00e4ngenden Herausforderungen f\u00fcr Wissenschaft und Gesellschaft gemeinsam anzugehen. Ziel ist es unter anderem, die europ\u00e4ische Forschung in den Bereichen Pr\u00e4vention, Epidemiologie sowie  personalisierte Medizin weiter voranzutreiben und einen Beitrag zum Wissens- und Technologietransfer zu leisten.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201eDiese Zusammenarbeit zwischen Helmholtz Health und EMBL wird es erm\u00f6glichen, effizienter auf gesellschaftliche Herausforderungen wie k\u00fcnftige Pandemien, Klimawandel und Antibiotikaresistenzen zu reagieren”, sagt EMBL-Generaldirektorin Edith Heard. \u201eIndem wir in den Bereichen menschliche \u00d6kosysteme, Infektionsbiologie und Umweltbiologie zusammenarbeiten, k\u00f6nnen wir die Gesundheit von Mensch und Erde verbessern.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Otmar D. Wiestler, Pr\u00e4sident der Helmholtz-Gemeinschaft, sagt: \u201eEMBL und Helmholtz Health b\u00fcndeln ihre enormen St\u00e4rken l\u00e4nder- und fach\u00fcbergreifend und bauen eine au\u00dferordentliche wissenschaftliche Expertise auf. Wir ben\u00f6tigen kreative und innovative Ans\u00e4tze in der Gesundheitsforschung, um das Thema Pr\u00e4vention konsequent voranzubringen. Gleichzeitig bieten wir mit dieser Kooperation talentierten Nachwuchswissenschaftlern auf beiden Seiten die einmalige M\u00f6glichkeit, interdisziplin\u00e4r bei EMBL und Helmholtz zu forschen.\u201c<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201eDie wissenschaftlichen Interessen von EMBL und Helmholtz Health erg\u00e4nzen sich hervorragend, so dass die Kooperationen einen echten Mehrwert f\u00fcr die Forschung bedeuten und damit einen sp\u00fcrbaren Gewinn f\u00fcr die Gesundheit erbringen k\u00f6nnen\u201c, sagt Michael Baumann, Vorstandsvorsitzender des Deutschen Krebsforschungszentrums und Vizepr\u00e4sident f\u00fcr den Forschungsbereich Gesundheit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In der Helmholtz-Gemeinschaft arbeiten18 naturwissenschaftlich-technische und medizinisch-biologische Forschungszentren in sechs Forschungsbereichen strategisch-programmatisch zusammen. Im Bereich Gesundheit (Helmholtz Health) konzentrieren sich sechs Zentren darauf, Erkrankungen rechtzeitig zu erkennen und fr\u00fchzeitig zu behandeln \u2013 f\u00fcr ein gesundes und langes Leben.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Die Absichtserkl\u00e4rung unterzeichneten: Das Deutsche Krebsforschungszentrum (DKFZ)<\/a>, das Deutsche Zentrum f\u00fcr Neurodegenerative Erkrankungen (DZNE)<\/a>, das Helmholtz-Zentrum f\u00fcr Infektionsforschung (HZI)<\/a>, das Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf e.V. (HZDR)<\/a>, Helmholtz Zentrum M\u00fcnchen \u2013 Deutsches Forschungszentrum f\u00fcr Gesundheit und Umwelt (HMGU)<\/a> und das Max-Delbr\u00fcck-Centrum f\u00fcr Molekulare Medizin in der Helmholtz-Gemeinschaft (MDC)<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

EMBL, das europ\u00e4ische Vorzeigelabor f\u00fcr Biowissenschaften, betreibt Grundlagenforschung in der Molekularbiologie und erforscht die Geschichte des Lebens. EMBL arbeitet bereits mit zwei Helmholtz-Zentren zusammen, in einer lokalen Allianz mit dem Deutschen Elektronen-Synchrotron (DESY)<\/a> und in einer Absichtserkl\u00e4rung zu gemeinsamen Forschungsvorhaben mit dem Deutschen Krebsforschungszentrum (DKFZ)<\/a>. EMBL-Wissenschaftler kooperieren au\u00dferdem mit mehreren anderen Helmholtz Zentren, z. B. mit dem Helmholtz Zentrum M\u00fcnchen – Deutsches Forschungszentrum f\u00fcr Gesundheit und Umwelt (HMGU), dem Helmholtz-Zentrum f\u00fcr Infektionsforschung (HZI) und dem Max-Delbr\u00fcck-Centrum f\u00fcr Molekulare Medizin (MDC) in Berlin.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
