PharmaScienceHub (PSH)

The PharmaScienceHub (PSH) is a cooperation platform of the Saarland University (UDS) and the Helmholtz Institute for Pharmaceutical Research Saarland (HIPS), which has emerged from a close collaboration of the partners over the last 15 years. Its goal is the rapid and efficient identification and development of pharmaceuticals against societally relevant diseases such as infections, cancer and age-related diseases. In the PSH, more than 70 research groups and over 300 researchers from various disciplines work closely together. They benefit from cooperation with 20 regional and interregional companies as well as a close partnership with actors from the pharmaceutical and biotech industry at a national and international level. The PSH also actively promotes start-ups: to date, more than 10 successful spin-offs have emerged from the long-term partnership.
