Our Research Portfolio
The Hannover Medical School is one of the most research-intensive university medical centres in Germany. Our scientists are pioneers of tomorrow's medicine.
MHH's research landscape is crowned by the current clusters of excellence RESIST and Hearing4All. MHH is also excellently represented in other DFG-funded Collaborative Research Centres and EU-funded projects. Close networking with the German Centres, in research alliances and with our partners further strengthen our long-term position. Below you will find an overview of the research landscape at the MHH and its partner institutions and an archive of successfully completed research funding projects.
