The Helmholtz Pioneer Campus

The Helmholtz Pioneer Campus (HPC) is an innovation campus with a startup culture at the Helmholtz Zen­trum München. HPC stands for the intelligent fusion of biomedical sciences, engineering and digitization. Teams of top scientific talents from all over the world work together on the development of novel solutions that make a difference in the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of diseases. HPC aspires the values of Hermann von Helmholtz (1821- 1894), a physician and physicist, polymath and science pioneer.
