Good ideas from research are to reach patients more quickly in the future. To this end, the German government is investing in a new Leibniz Research Center in Jena. Natural scientists, technology developers, physicians and medical technology manufacturers will work together there in the future to develop light-based technologies for better diagnostics and therapy of infectious diseases.
The German Council of Science and Humanities (Wissenschaftsrat) rated the plans for the "Leibniz Center for Photonics in Infection Research" (LPI) in Jena as very positive, according to the "Report on the science-led assessment of large-scale research infrastructure projects for the National Roadmap" published on Monday, July 17, 2017. From 2018, an open-user center could be created where photonic solutions for diagnostics, monitoring and experimental therapy for infections are researched and developed with industry into functional solutions.
