News UCCS

Founding of the UCCS on July 1st 2021

The newly founded UCCS is an institute dedicated to cardiovascular research located at the Medical Faculty and focuses on translational aspects of cardiovascular research. The UCCS has access to a modern research infrastructure, unique epidemiological cohorts and biobanks with cardiovascular focus and excellent conditions for a strong collaboration with the clinics of the UHZ as well as clinics and institutes at the UKE.

    One of our founding directors of the UCCS and DZHK professor Prof. Dr. Tanja Zeller was awarded the Albert Fraenkel Prize at the 88th annual meeting of the German Society of Cardiology - Heart and Circulation Research (DGK) for her many years of outstanding research work on the detection of cardiovascular disease causes through systems biology approaches with special inclusion of circulating biomolecules.

    The Albert Fraenkel Prize is endowed with 5,200 euros and is awarded by a high-ranking selection committee to German-speaking scientists who have achieved outstanding qualifications through publications in the field of physiology, pharmacology, pathology, clinic or therapy of the circulatory system.

    Congratulations!
