sitem-insel AG
The mission of sitem-insel is to create and foster an enhanced environment for translational medicine in Switzerland. The strategy is based on three pillars:

Translational medicine deals with the transition from new findings and products from industrial development and basic research to clinical application. This process-oriented discipline professionalizes the interaction between industry, universities, clinicians, regulatory bodies and investors.
sitem-insel is an independent, non-profit public-private partnership with the legal form of a public limited company. Government funding of appr. CHF 50m has been approved for the start-up phase. Subsequently, sitem-insel will be financially independent.
The sitem School is organizing on 3 June 2020 a public presentation of medical projects based on which a board of experts will distribute full scholarships for the MAS Translational Medicine and Biomedical Engineering from the University of Bern.
