Activities

The Iten-Kohaut Foundation focuses on treatment in several distinct areas: "Cancer", "Cardiovascular diseases", "Rheumatism" and "Eye disorders".

The Foundation finances medical research at the University Hospital of Zurich (adults).

The Foundation focuses mainly on research with a practical orientation rather than pure, academic research. Preference is given to up-and-coming young talents.

Financial support in all areas may last several years.

The Foundation finances projects to the tune of approximately CHF 1.2 million per annum.
