 Diagnostics 

chow-Klinikum. More than 10,000 hospital beds in and around 

Berlin will be provided with high-performance diagnostics from 

this new location. 

Efficient technology transfer based on regional 

networks

“BioResponse” and “DiagnostikNet BB” have emerged as compa-

ny-driven networks whose intensive cooperation with science 

has resulted in innovative product developments like the AK-

LIDES system, which have become international market leaders.

The Centre for Molecular Diagnostics and Bioanalysis (ZMDB) has 

driven regional and international cooperation between science 

and industry as a successful platform for know-how and technol-

ogy transfer since 2009. Through the ZMDB, Berlin-Brandenburg 

has maintained close links with nine leading European diagnos-

tics regions since 2010 as part of the European Diagnostics Clus-

ter Alliance (EDCA), offering regional SMEs specific market access 

support services.

The Technology Forum In vitro-Diagnostics and Bioanalysis organ-

ised by the ZMDB has been held in the capital region for the past 

five years and is proving to be an excellent platform for initiating 

sustainable dialogue between fundamental research and indus-

trial as well as clinical application. The 5th Technology Forum in 

June 2013 focused on mass spectrometry, protein arrays and ap-

tamer-based biosensors. A specially designed partnering event 

for diagnostics companies and research institutes permitted 

meeting new cooperation partners from Europe and was aimed 

at fostering and encouraging potential growth opportunities.
