A joint project organization of the University of Basel and the University Hospitals of the Basel area, Personalized Health Basel (PHB) is committed to advancing healthcare through innovation, data-driven research, and clinical translation, for the benefit of patients, science, and society.

Our mission is to transform the Basel region into a leading hub for personalized health by:

  • Streamlining data-driven clinical and research processes
  • Building modern IT and data infrastructures
  • Facilitating interdisciplinary and translational collaboration
  • Fostering partnerships between academia and industry

We bridge gaps in data and biospecimen access by developing infrastructure that enables secure sharing and analysis across clinical and research networks. This paves the way for translational research, breakthrough diagnostics and treatments, and improved prevention and clinical care. Working with translational labs, we integrate advanced analytics and decision-support tools into clinical workflows, turning innovation into routine practice.

PHB contributes to national initiatives such as Swiss Personalized Health Network (SPHN) and Personalized Health Related Technologies (PHRT), while also engaging in cross-border projects, within the upper Rhine region and beyond, like Clinnova. We also actively foster partnerships with the private sector in the Basel region to drive innovation.

By providing IT and data expertise, coordinating efforts, and leveraging existing resources, PHB empowers researchers, clinicians, and health authorities to deliver the future of personalized healthcare.

Personalized Health Basel is excited to announce the launch of the PHB Translational Award 2026!
