Research Platforms
KITHealthTech profits from a variety of research platforms supporting research of all scientific disciplines in Health Technologies
KitHealthTech is organized internally across a number of Thematic Fields, Research Fields, Focus Fields the Karlsruhe Regieon of Health Technologies (KARE) and various Research Platforms. The Thematic Fields including KARE host research communities bringing together academic and professional scientists who share a commitment to developing groundbreaking and transformative new health technologies for disease diseases with unmet medical need. Platforms are led by professional and staff scientists who bring the expertise and organization to allow for the use of large infrastructure and sophisticated equipment. The Research Platforms offer access to the state of the art machines and equipment as well as information technologies for to support all kinds of research. Most of the Research Platforms offer support also to external users worldwide.
3ROCKIT stands for Replace Reduce Refine Organismal Research by Computational and Cellular technologies@KIT. Research groups at KIT develop novel in vitro and in silico technologies to ultimately replace animal studies and methods for automated and intelligent surgical assistance and for future autonomous interventions.
