The Medical Faculty offers its own Core Facilities, which specialize in various subjects within the life sciences.

An information website on all medical Core Facilities provides an overview and details of contact persons at the Medical Faculty.

The BinAC - Bioinformatics and Astrophysics Research Cluster is part of the bwHPC initiative (High Performance Cloud Computing). BinAC was funded by the DFG and the state of Baden-Württemberg from 2016 to 2021.

The aim of the concept is to provide researchers with optimized HPC resources for their disciplines, consisting of hardware, software and support.

Since 2019, four research data centers have been funded by the state of Baden-Württemberg. Within the data centers, researchers are to work closely with data centers and libraries to enable access to and use of digital data sets.

BioDATEN - Bioinformatics Data Environment is one of these four centers, which was funded from 2019 to 2023. The aim was to support bioinformatics workflows across the entire life cycle of the data. This facilitates access to the various independent infrastructures at regional, national and international level.

Virtual or digital research environments are working platforms that have been developed to enable scientists to conduct research together from different locations at the same time.

IMeRa - Integrated Mobile Health Research Platform is a virtual research environment (VRE) for the life sciences, in particular for research and patient-related data that is collected, provided and accessed via mobile devices.

Information Management and Information Infrastructure in Collaborative Research Centers (INF) can be applied for as a subproject in Collaborative Research Centers (CRC) or CRC/Transregio (TRR) of the DFG. They serve to develop and implement project-specific data management concepts and to establish and operate the associated infrastructure.

The INF project Virtual Environment for Research Data and Analysis (VERDA) of the TRR 356 - PlantMicrobe is based in the natural and life sciences. The TRR will run from 2023 to 2026.

DIFUTURE - Medical Informatics Consortium is a BMBF-funded project in the life sciences. The funding period was from 2018 to 2021; since 2023 up to 2026, the university is involved in a follow-up project within Module 1A.

The aim was and is to jointly collect data from patient care under strict data protection requirements in order to improve treatment options in the future. The departments involved are medicine, computer science, biostatistics and bioinformatics.

In the follow-up project, the developed structures are to be further expanded, consolidated and linked with existing structures. The local partner in Tübingen is meDIC - Medical Data Integration Center at Tübingen University Hospital (UKT).
