Laser and medical technology Berlin
The laser and medical technology GmbH, Berlin (LMTB) was a non-university research institution in Berlin . The LMTB's task was to conduct research and development in the fields of medical technology and applied laser technology . On November 25, 2016, LMTB opened insolvency proceedings due to payment defaults and has ceased to exist since May 2017.
history
On June 1, 1985 , the company was founded in Berlin-Dahlem . Initially, the Laser Medicine Center (LMZ) was housed in the central animal laboratories of the Steglitz University Hospital. In 1995 the merger of the LMZ with the Solid State Laser Institute Berlin GmbH (FLI), an affiliated institute at the TU Berlin , was decided retrospectively to June 1, 1995. The new name was Laser- und Medizin-Technologie GmbH, Berlin . In 1996, the laser technology division moved to the photonics center in Berlin-Adlershof , today part of the Adlershof science and business location ( WISTA ). In 2000, the medical technology division moved to Fabeckstrasse on the site of the former US hospital. All business areas have been united under one roof since 2010.
The LMTB had cooperation agreements with all three Berlin universities ( Technical University Berlin , Free University Berlin and Humboldt University Berlin ) for scientific cooperation in order to use their know-how and facilities. The core competencies lie in the technological implementation of the topics
- Fabric optics
- Medicine (technology)
- Laser applications
at the interface between clinical applications and manufacturing companies.
The LMTB's research and development work was based on funding from the Federal Ministry of Education and Research , the Federal Ministry of Economics (BMWi) and the State of Berlin, from contracts with the EU, from subcontracting publicly funded third-party projects, and from industrial contracts , without basic funding and financed from fees for the courses held. The close cooperation with the Berlin universities on the basis of the cooperation agreement and with various departments / university clinics simultaneously allowed a deepening of the basics and the reference to the specific questions of clinical routine. The practical relevance in the field of laser material processing and measurement technology resulted from industrial orders.
The LMTB was part of the competence center "Miniaturized Monitoring and Intervention Systems" (MOTIV) and thus the "German Medical Technology Alliance" (GMTA), member of the competence network for optical technologies in the states of Berlin and Brandenburg ( OpTecBB ) and maintains contact with the TSB Technology Foundation Berlin , especially the TSBmedici.
