Thessalia has the appropriate infrastructure and the resources that are essential for the foundation of a Biomedical Research & Technology Institute. The educational center CERETETH includes the institutes: Biomedical Research & Technology (BIOMED, Larissa), Technology and Management of Agricultural Ecosystems (ITEMA, Karditsa), Human Performance & Rehabilitation (PERFOTECH, Trikala), and Mechatronics (IMTRONICS, Volos) that is staffed with internationally achnowledged scientific personnel. The clinical Resources of Thessalia consist of 4 big hospitals and a number of private clinics, which sets the bases to support research protocols.
The Institutes are spread in the region of Thessalia and there is a collaboration among them. The Institute of Biomedical Research & Technology (BIOMED) cooperates with the institutes: Mechatronics to develop the field of Biomechanics from a scientific and technologic point of view and the Institute of Human Performance & Rehabilitation (PERFOTECH) to develop sensors to be applied to athletics, and to parients for rehabilitation , preoperative and postoperative diagnoses.
The founder is also the first Director of the Institute Professor Konstantinos N. MALIZOS.
