Illustration of a network of three-dimensional cubes representing digital health research areas. At the center is a large blue cube labeled “C²D² – Cluster of Competence in Digital Diagnostics.” Surrounding it are smaller blue cubes labeled “Image-based Lab Diagnostics,” “Molecular Biomarkers,” “Biomedical AI,” “Translational Medicine & Omics,” and “One Health,” embedded among many white cubes. The cubes are arranged in a connected, abstract structure, symbolizing interdisciplinary collaboration in digital diagnostics.

Our Vision

As an interdisciplinary and cross-institutional competence cluster, we strive to shape the laboratory medicine of tomorrow by combining knowledge from experimental and computational methods, thus laying the foundation for innovative, precise and faster patient-centered and data-driven diagnostics.

Our mission

By bridging experimental and computational approaches, we drive the advancement of laboratory medicine through:

Open knowledge exchange across disciplines and institutions
The development and validation of innovative methods in image- and data-driven diagnostics in collaborative projects
Platforms for computational and technological innovation
The efficient translation of new technologies into clinical practice
Continuing education to enhance expertise and support professionals

Our activities span five thematic subclusters, where we unite dedicated expertise and resources.
