Medicine Campus Davos
A campus for therapy, research and education in the fields of allergy and cardio-vascular diseases
A milestone was set in Davos Wolfgang in 2019 with the opening of the first research building of the medical campus. The independent medical programs of the Kühne Foundation, HGK AG (Hochgebirgsklinik), the research institutions CK-CARE AG (Christine Kühne –
Center for Allergy Research and Education) and Cardio-CARE AG as well as Biotech Davos BioSciences AG are working closely with the SIAF (Swiss Institute for Allergy and Asthma Research) to establish a unique interdisciplinary center in this field.
In 2024, the Kühne Foundation and Kühne Real Estate, with the support of the Canton of Graubünden and the municipality of Davos, will build a second research building on the Davos Medical Campus. This will strengthen patient-oriented research into allergies and cardiovascular diseases. The building not only houses the Kühne Foundation’s medical programs, but also provides an excellent infrastructure for research and development projects by medical companies and institutions in the canton of Graubünden.
Innovative structure combined with cutting-edge research
The Davos medical campus has an innovative structure. This makes it possible to offer patients individually tailored care in the fields of allergology and cardiology. This includes diagnostics, prevention and treatment of chronic inflammatory diseases as well as rehabilitation measures. The three traditional pillars of university medicine work closely together on site: the networking of patient care, research and education/teaching optimizes patient care options. This traditional structure is complemented by a unique data and biobank as well as recognized expertise in the field of data processing and artificial intelligence. The translational aspect of cutting-edge research is guaranteed by Biotech Davos BioSciences AG thanks to its close contacts with partners in the pharmaceutical industry.
Clinical care (inpatient/outpatient) in the areas of chronic inflammatory diseases: Allergy, asthma and cardiovascular diseases. Patients with asthma, dermatological, general allergological and cardiovascular needs are treated at the Hochgebirgsklinik Davos. CK-CARE and Cardio-CARE work closely with the SIAF to produce results that can be directly applied in therapy and clinical practice. The result is translational research at the highest international level.
Patients benefit from translational allergy and cardio research on the campus, as treatment is always at the cutting edge of scientific knowledge. Great importance is also attached to offering appropriate training programs.
