Our Partners
The Translational Imaging Center (TIC) is part of the Inselgruppe AG, the largest and leading medical care system in Switzerland, specifically as a unit within the Department Teaching and Research of the University Hospital. The realization of such a platform is only possible with the support of our key partner organizations, namely the Swiss Institute for Translational and Entrepreneurial Medicine (sitem-insel AG), a National Center of Excellence that assists in the transition from research findings or prototypes to marketable products, the University of Bern with its 150 institutes and nine inter- and transdisciplinary competence centers and Siemens Healthineers, a world-leading medical device company, that specialises in medical imaging equipment and diagnostics.

Shaping the future of MR imaging research in Switzerland
MRI technology continues to develop rapidly, and increasingly specialized applications have opened up an environment for comprehensive synergistic research areas consisting of life science, medicine and other basic research, including magnetic resonance methods, system biology and biomedical engineering. Working groups from the University Hospital Bern (Inselspital) and the University of Bern have joined forces to form an MRI research consortium with the goal to develop an integrative platform for translational research and education. The platform constitutes one of the core enabling facilities at sitem-insel and aims at leveraging the research from the cellular level up to clinical research. Close collaboration with our industry partners enables the development of novel MRI methods and applications and their translation into advanced and personalized patient care.
