The heads of our diagnostic and research institutes are primarily tenured professors or proven experts in their fields at the Medical University of Graz who pool their scientific competence in studies, research and diagnostics. Their statements provide insight into the specializations of their institutes.
"We investigate tissue and cells using the most modern methods in order to determine the causes of disease and thus enable new therapeutic approaches."
