Welcome to St Clara Research
The demands placed on research institutions have steadily increased in recent years. In order to meet these increased requirements, the research department of St. Claraspital AG was founded in 2015 and finally transformed into an AG (as a subsidiary of St. Clara AG, henceforth "St. Clara Forschung AG"/"St. Clara Research Ltd") in April 2018, with the participation of the Lindenhof Bern Foundation.
With St. Clara Forschung AG, a research facility has been established that meets all the legal requirements of a modern clinical research unit and is characterised by high-quality clinical research activities. Numerous international co-operations make it possible to conduct nationally and internationally competitive clinical and translational research at a high level.

Dr Peter Eichenberger Grant at the Claraspital Basel
CHF 60,000 per year is available for research funding. Financial support is to be provided for research projects worthy of support and related to the Claraspital. The allocation of research funds should be competitive in nature so that they can be listed as competitively acquired third-party funds for an academic career. Employees of the Claraspital, Clarunis, the Lindenhof Group and St. Clara Research are eligible for funding.
The grant is dedicated to the former and long-standing director of St. Clara Hospital, Dr Peter Eichenberger (1966-2024) and is awarded annually by the Coordination Committee of St. Clara Forschung AG. Peter Eichenberger was the hospital director of St. Clara Hospital for many years. Thanks to his visionary ideas and the commitment of the St. Clara Forschung team, the institution was able to raise its profile both nationally and internationally in a short space of time.
