Joint Research Center for Computational Biomedicine

The Joint Research Center for Computational Biomedicine is dedicated to research, development and application of advanced computational technologies for biomedicine in research and clinics.
  

History

The JRC has been founded in 2013 as the first private-public partnership between RWTH Aachen University, University Hospital Aachen and Bayer AG as industrial partner. Today the JRC integrates four institutes from the faculty of medicine, all dedicated to research, application, and teaching in advanced computational methods for systems biology, systems medicine and healthcare utilization. As a hub for computational research, the JRC has tight interactions with biological and clinical research groups as well as with the computational science community at RWTH Aachen University and FZ Julich.
