Opened in 2004, the Center for Medical Research (ZMF) has become an integral part of the Med Uni Graz. Since then, further central research-supporting infrastructures have been implemented; e.g. Core Facilities, Biobank Graz and Biomedical Research Facility, to complement a comprehensive state-of-the-art portfolio of technologies, applications and expertise in the most relevant fields of translational and fundamental biomedical research.
