We had a wonderful team christmas party, and we’re incredibly grateful for a fantastic year in 2024. Our celebration started with some fun bowling, followed by a delicious menu at the restaurant uuuhmami in Heidelberg. It was a very sociable evening filled with lots of fun, great conversations, and excellent entertainment.

We wish you and your loved ones a joyful Christmas and relaxing holidays. May the New Year 2025 bring you success, happiness, and new opportunities. Thank you for being a part of our journey this year. We look forward to achieving great things together in the coming year. Warmest wishes from all of us!

Today, we spent our lunch break at the magical Christmas market in Heidelberg.
We took the tram to get there, which added to the charm of the experience. The weather was cold but dry, making it perfect for strolling around and enjoying the festive atmosphere. We thoroughly enjoyed exploring the market, and the treats were simply delicious!
A big thank you to our COO Julia Müller for this wonderful lunch break idea.

Don’t waste your precious time with inconsistent image data in your central radiological read for a clinical trial.
Our image data management software mTRIAL comprises study specific protocol conformity checks in automatic image data management workflows. And to make it even better, our imaging experts check every image visually for field of view and artefacts so that you can focus on the things that really matter.
You don’t need to worry about a thing – we handle it all for you.

Stop sending CDs with image data all over the world. Simply upload your medical images via web browser to the central study server – with automatic pseudonymization before upload.
Our study servers are hosted in Germany and comply to BSI C5 standard.
mediri’s image data management software mTRIAL covers the complete workflow of a clinical study from upload to central read and reporting. All stakeholders of a project have real-time access to the image data base. This way we make clinical studies more efficent and secure.

Did you already know that the “Medizinforschungsgesetz” incorporates new regulations for radiation protection notifications? A streamlined procedure for these notifications aims at ensuring that radiation protection-relevant studies, e.g. with imaging end points based on PET or CT imaging, in Germany are approved at a similar speed as in other European countries.
This and many other aspects of the current situation in clinical research have been discussed at the 32. BVMA Symposium in Munich last week, most of them with an optimistic perspective for the next years. Germany is starting to catch up again, because more clinical trials in Germany will not only contribute to our BIP but also provide access to the newest therapies for many patients – many of us.

Many Thanks to BVMA – Bundesverband Medizinischer Auftragsinstitute e.V. for this energizing event!

Are you still waiting for CDs to be delivered? Meet our COO Julia Müller at the BVMA Symposium in Munich tomorrow and discuss efficient and secure ways of medical image data sharing and evaluation in clinical studies.

We’re thrilled to share that our Ph.D. student, Yaqeen Ali, recently completed a two-month secondment at the Faculté de Médecine, Université de Bourgogne Franche-Comté in Dijon, France, as part of the BosomShield project.
During his time there, he focused on feature extraction, selection, and classification to identify molecular subtypes of breast cancer across various MRI modalities.
Our heartfelt thanks to Fabrice Meriaudeau, Alain Lalande, and Tewele Weletnsea TAREKE for their invaluable support and collaboration.

Just imagine…you are planning a multi-center imaging study and you can choose whichever site you want irrespective of the MR scanner they have. In SIMAB, Fraunhofer MEVIS and mediri GmbH are developing a vendor-agnostic MR sequence development framework to increase the comparability of imaging biomarkers regardless of the employed scanner equipment.
Structural imaging biomarkers as brain atrophy or lesions will be assessed as well as functional indicators of neurological diseases, e.g. brain perfusion or permeability.
SIMAB is funded by the German Ministry for Research and Education.

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, an international effort to raise awareness about breast cancer prevention, research, and treatment. It highlights the crucial role of early detection and ongoing efforts to combat the disease.

We’re proud to be part of the Marie-Sklodowska-Curie network BosomShield, which combines clinical, pathological, and radiological data to enhance breast cancer treatments. Our PhD students are currently working on AI-based lesion segmentation and classification on images of different modalities aiming for better relapse propability prediction.
