The construction of artificial tissue structures can help advance many areas of medical research. Cluster members have developed a new method to show individual cells "their" place. A laser acts as guide.
The Long Night of Research is the largest event for science and research in Austria. Cluster members will give insights into their research - and even invite participants grab a pipette and become researchers themselves.
Prof. Peter Ertl is working on biochips that contain small tissue samples and are intended to replace animal experiments in the development of medicines. For this he received the "Staatspreis" for animal testing alternatives.
Until now, there have been two completely different approaches to producing artificial tissue. At TU Wien, a third approach has now been developed that combines the advantages of both.
It is the first time in the history of the H.F. Mark Medal that two winners are honored for their outstanding collaboration.
