Our focus is on conducting cutting-edge translational research for the benefit of patients, while at the same time providing state-of-the-art patient care. This philosophy is put into practice through a research branch, Clinical Epidemiology and Systems Medicine (CESM), and a clinical branch, the Department of Preventive Medicine and the Department of Cardiology, at the University Medical Center of Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz.
Our Organizational Structure
The Department of Cardiology at the University Medical Center Mainz is the leading cardiology center in Rhineland-Palatinate and the Rhine-Main metropolitan region. Clinical focuses include acute coronary syndrome and chronic cardiovascular diseases. With Europe’s first dedicated heart valve unit, the center is a national leader in interventional heart valve therapy in Germany. A dedicated team of approximately 400 staff members provides care for more than 11,000 inpatients and 20,000 outpatients annually at the highest international standards.
The Center for Thrombosis and Hemostasis Mainz (CTH) was established in 2010 as an integrated research and treatment center funded by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research. The CTH provides a unique interdisciplinary environment that enables basic research, innovative patient care, and the development of new diagnostic and therapeutic approaches.
The German Centre for Cardiovascular Research (DZHK) was founded in 2012 on the initiative of the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research. The aim of the DZHK is to rapidly and efficiently translate findings from basic research on cardiovascular diseases into clinical practice.
