Personalized Health Basel
A joint project organization of the University of Basel and the University Hospitals of the Basel area, Personalized Health Basel (PHB) aims to develop and promote translational research, personalized health and precision medicine for the benefit of patients, research and society.
By harmonizing and streamline existing processes and pipelines, building new information technology (IT) infrastructures, and by forming local, national and international research collaborations as well as partnerships with the private sector, we aim to consolidate the Basel area as a hub of health innovation and health-data driven research excellence and a place where people benefit from personalized healthcare.
We identify the gaps and build the critical infrastructure to capture, share and analyse data and biospecimens across the various networks of clinicians and scientists. In this way, we enable translational, transdisciplinary and health data-driven research as well as clinical translation, biomedical development, breakthrough personalised treatments and improvements in disease prevention and medical practice. Together with translational research labs, we also optimize processes, platforms and data integration / interface so that innovative non-routine analytics and decision support with high potential impact in healthcare can be performed and refined up to the point of full integration in the clinical routine.
PHB activities are closely coordinated with our partners in Zurich within the Personalized Health Alliance Basel-Zurich and with national initiatives such as the Swiss Personalized Heath network (SPHN) and the complementary initiative from the ETH Domain Personalized Health and Related Technologies (PHRT). In addition, PHB and University of Basel have taken a strong role in strategic initiatives in the field of personalized health and health-related data research also outside the Swiss national borders, with project collaborations within the upper Rhine region and beyond (Clinnova). Furthermore, we foster exchanges and collaborations/partnerships with the private sector in the Basel ecosystem.
PHB helps researchers, clinicians, R&D developers, data scientists and health authorities by providing IT/data engineering and integration, software development and IT solutions as well as coordinating the numerous excellent efforts and resources already in place to create innovation and excellence in the health sector.

Workshop on "Entrepreneurship in healthcare, the valley of death - Revisited"
We are excited to announce the next workshop of the Personalized Health Series , which will take place on the 21st of November 2024, during the Global Entrepreneurship Week Basel, with the title "Entrepreneurship in healthcare, the valley of death - Revisited. How the Basel ecosystem can help to inspire and support entrepreneurship in healthcare".
This time, the main goal is to provide both an inspiring and a hands-on presentation of the Basel ecosystem for everybody striving to transform their own ideas in concrete projects and thus to create innovation.
To showcase the full potential of the Basel ecosystem, we decided this time to partner not only with the Innovation Office of the University of Basel, but also with DayOne Basel, the Switzerland's leading digital health and medtech accelerators. We are joining forces and our complementary skills to provide you with a unique experience and bring you concrete examples and hints for everybody interested in starting their entrepreneurial adventure, or for whomever needs health-related data to consolidate a running project and a partnership.
The workshop is intended for PhDs, PostDocs, researchers and professors who wants to better understand how to launch an entrepreneurial experience, and what each of the organizers can bring to make the journey possible; as well as it is addressed to entrepreneurs and industry representatives who desire to understand how to access clinical data to test and develop their medical devices and software.
If you have an idea but you are hesitant to take the plunge and need some motivation and examples, then this workshop is exactly what you need!
