BCPM Organization and Structure

The Bern Center for Precision Medicine (BCPM) was founded on January 1, 2019. 

The BCPM is regulated by a set of founding documents signed by the rector and the CEO of the Insel Gruppe, among them the “Rahmenordnung (RO)”, and the “Geschäftsordnung (GO)”, both in German. These two documents give the framework for the BCPM organizational structure:

• “Ausschuss” is translated as “Advisory Committee”. Advisory committees will convene as needed (project calls, platform coordination).
• “Beirat” is translated as “Advisory Board”. There is an External Advisory Board with external (international) experts.
• “Zentrumsleitung” is translated as “Executive Board”. As mentioned in the GO/RO, the executive board is headed by a director, who nominates a vice-director, and stays in direct and permanent contact with the Operational Office.
