Si-Mposium 2024
Der Simulierte Mensch (Si-M), a joint initiative by Charité and TU Berlin, creates a research space where engineering meets medicine. This unique collaboration aims to develop human models and innovative bioanalytical processes to simulate organ functions, ultimately enhancing our understanding of diseases and developing new diagnostic and therapeutic approaches.
Set to open in 2025, Si-M will host interdisciplinary teams from both TU and Charité, focused on transformative, collaborative research.
On the 12th of September 2024, the Si-Mposium, our last pre-opening event took place to foster exchange and networking among engineers, medical professionals, and scientists. This event was a launchpad for pioneering research and global dialogue, featuring insights from international experts.
Our Si-Mposium events amplify the visibility of Si-M and its associated excellence clusters, attract young talents, and lay the groundwork for future medical innovations.
