With its vision of \u201cResearch for a Future Without Diabetes,\u201d the DZD is pursuing a compelling and highly relevant goal for society.\u00a0The report also highlights the high level of scientific excellence among the researchers and the center\u2019s strong national and international visibility.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Translation as a particular strength&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Evaluation Commission cites the DZD\u2019s successful translation concept as a particular strength. The reviewers commend the DZD\u2019s ability to effectively translate research findings into the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of diabetes. Examples include contributions to national and international guidelines, the development of new therapeutic approaches, and successful collaborations with industry partners.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The DZD\u2019s organizational and decision-making structures are also rated very positively. In particular, the structure of the Translational Research Academies is considered a successful approach to bringing together different disciplines and promoting innovative research.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The evaluation also acknowledges the DZD\u2019s impressive progress since the last review. This is reflected, in particular, in rising publication numbers, successful acquisition of third-party funding, patents, and the expansion of international collaborations. The evaluation also highlights data management, the promotion of innovative research projects, the involvement of citizens and patients, and the recruitment of early-career researchers and leading scientists.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Building on success together&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe outstanding assessment by the international evaluation committee is a striking confirmation of the DZD\u2019s successful development and the high quality of our research,\u201d says DZD Executive Board Member Professor Martin Hrab\u011b de Angelis. \u201cWe are particularly pleased about the recognition of our translational approach, which specifically translates scientific findings into the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of diabetes. This result is a joint achievement of our scientists and all partners within the DZD.\u201d The DZD will act on the reviewers\u2019 recommendations to further expand its translational research program and successfully advance research toward a future without diabetes.&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Excellent rating for the German Center for Diabetes Research (DZD), of which the German Diabetes Center (DDZ) is a founding member: The latest external evaluation attests to the DZD\u2019s clear [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":10,"featured_media":26812,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_FSMCFIC_featured_image_caption":"","_FSMCFIC_featured_image_nocaption":"","_FSMCFIC_featured_image_hide":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[249],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-26816","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-pressreleases"],"acf":{"attachments":false},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.8 -
