As one of the largest research centres in Europe, MedUni Vienna concentrates on a total of four Researchclusters and five Clinical Fields of research. The high standard of research is reflected in the considerable number of scientific published in the international specialist press. In 2008 the overall impact factor of scientific publications was 7.780.
Clinical Programs
The innovative translational research approach is an integral element of MedUni Vienna’s development plan; as a result of this, considerable opportunities are available to its patients. Through the unique inter-linking of fundamental research with clinical applications, patients benefit directly from the results of clinical studies. A further plus for patients is implementation of the interdisciplinary approach in the core-area: research. Cooperation of all of the doctors concerned with treatment and a bundling of the medical skills represent a decisive factor for success, particularly in relation to the care of cancer patients.
