Organisation

The organisation of the FCI aims to promote scientific excellence and technological innovation by leveraging the local strengths and networking structures of the partners involved.

Scientists

The scientists involved in the FCI are based at the Goethe University, the Georg Speyer Haus, the Max Planck Institute for Heart and Lung Research, the Paul Ehrlich Institut and the Blutspendedienst and represent a broad spectrum of disciplines, from structural biology to biochemistry and molecular biology to cell biology, bioinformatics and medicinal chemistry to the various specialists in clinical disciplines.

Leadership

Leadership of the FCI is the responsibility of the Speaker, Florian Greten, supported by a Board of representatives from the FCI professors, the heads of the five technology plattforms and representatives of the junior researchers.

Coordination

The scientific and administrative threads converge in a central coordination office. The large-scale clinical translation programs, which form the strategic heart of the FCI, are handled by interdisciplinary teams, which are composed of the five research areas. Each research area provides a platform with specific, standardized methodology and project management for the programs of the FCI.
