In its continuous effort to strengthen ties with institutions devoted to research in translational medicine, HealthTwiSt has moved its offices to the prestigious biotech research campus, Berlin-Buch. Located in the northeast corner of Berlin, the campus combines basic research in molecular biology and genetics with clinical research so that the latest medical discoveries can be brought to the bedside as quickly as possible. As Dr. Busjahn stated; ‘Being located in the very same building as the Experimental and Clinical Research Center clearly improves our ability to serve our customers and deliver clinical data and samples most sufficiently’.
Among the most prominent new neighbours are the Max Delbrück Center for molecular medicine (MDC), the Leibniz-Institute for molecular pharmacology (FMP) and the Charité University Medicine Berlin. Beside those research institutions, around 30 biotech enterprises with more than 500 employees are situated on the Berlin-Buch Campus. The expertise and services they offer range from the development of bio-diagnostics and vectors for gene therapy to peptide synthesis, protein analysis, cell and tissue grafts, bioinformatics and genetics.
