About us

The study center STZ eyetrial at the Department for Ophthalmology was founded in 2004 by Professor Barbara Wilhelm. In the anniversary year 2019, Tobias Peters, MD, took over the management.

On average, our team oversees more than 30 projects with a wide variety of focuses, including studies according to AMG, MDR, professional-regulations and IITs. In some studies, we have taken on the role of the CRO as well.
