Projects & Publications
We engage in projects ranging from small exploratory studies to larger collaborative initiatives, bringing together partners from academia, healthcare and industry.
Small to medium-sized projects are often carried out in the context of semester projects, bachelor’s or master’s theses in the programs Applied Digital Life Sciences (BSc), Medical Laboratory Diagnostics (BSc) and Applied Computational Life Sciences (MSc). We are always open to new project ideas and collaborations.
Since our launch in spring 2025, we have completed a first set of projects, laying the foundation for future developments at C²D².
