Buildings and bridge structures are nowadays mostly constructed out of concrete, masonry, steel and wood. Purpose of the Structural Engineering Laboratory of the Department of Engineering is the investigation of the resistances and load capacities of named material and structures. Beyond the material evaluation, connections and full-scale structural elements are tested. The guided tour will show material testing devices, a concrete laboratory, climatic chambers and the large testing frames capable to apply loads up to 400 000 kg.
The simulation teaching unit of Medical Education provides state of the art equipment enabling our students to acquire the necessary know-how in a protected environment. An Anatomy suite, a Digital Learning suite, a Virtual Hospital suite and a Task Training suite are used in several courses of our Bachelor of Medicine and will be used in the future in our new Nursing Bachelor programmes.
Discover brain organoids
Visit the lab of the Developmental and Cellular Biology group to learn how they generate three-dimensional cell cultures to study neurodegenerative diseases. These brain organoids are derived from human induced pluripotent stem cells and help researchers understand mechanisms at the cellular and molecular level.
Neuroinflammation and Alzheimer’s disease
Visit the lab of the Neuroinflammation group and learn more about the role played by the immune cells of the brain in neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s. Discover the different cell types studied by the researchers – microglia, neurons, astrocytes and oligodendrocytes – through beautiful microscopy images.
Studying the brain thanks to yeasts and mammalian cells
Visit the lab of the Enzymology & Metabolism group and explore different models used to study human diseases, from neurodegenerative disorders to rare diseases. Discover how yeasts and mammalian cell lines can be cultivated in the lab. Learn how these models are invaluable for drug screens and to better understand molecular mechanisms of diseases.
