simfo GmbH in the TZB
Under the direction of Dr. med. Ulrich Pachmann, the TZB (Transfusion Center Bayreuth) was formed in the year 2000 with the Dr. Pachmann Laboratory, Dr. Pachmann's private practice and simfo Spezielle Immunologie Forschung + Entwicklung GmbH.
Dr. med. Pachmann, specialist in transfusion medicine and principal investigator, and his wife, Prof. Dr. med. Katharina Pachmann MD (Karol Inst Stockholm) and Professor of haematology and oncology have brought their experience and knowledge into the Transfusion Medicine Center. They have developed in vitro procedures to determine the number of circulating tumour cells and to determine the relevant thrombosis risk as decision-making tools for the doctor. Over the course of time, these procedures have been steadily developed further, refined and brought to the highest level currently in terms of quality
