MS Wissenschaft 2026 – Medicine of the Future The exhibition "Medicine of the Future"

How can artificial intelligence help to detect bone fractures? Which cancer therapy spares our healthy cells? How can we use health data to treat each person individually? And what does medicine look like that takes into greater account the differences between the sexes? These are the questions addressed by the exhibition on the MS Wissenschaft in the Science Year 2026 – Medicine of the Future.

Researchers demonstrate how they are already shaping the medicine of tomorrow with their ideas and work. The exhibition examines medical research on three levels: from the smallest processes in cells, through the interaction of body, psyche, and new technologies, to external influences from society and the environment that shape our lives.
With about 30 exhibits, visitors can become active in the exhibition. They can, for example, test medications on an artificial organ, measure their heartbeat with a camera, or virtually immerse themselves in the operating room of the future. Visitors are also invited to explore the latest research on diseases such as dementia, diabetes, or endometriosis at three stations. The exhibition is recommended for ages twelve and above.
