 |
MAU houses strong cross-disciplinary research groups working within the Life Sciences. One example is the cross-faculty Biofilms-Research Center for Biointerfaces (BRCB) with a focus on phenomena related to biofilms and biologically relevant surfaces, along the research areas: 1) Oral Biology, 2) Prosthetic dentistry, 3) Biomedicine science and 4) Material science and applied mathematics. |
 |
The cross border perspective is essential, and Region Skåne has a long tradition of cooperation with stakeholders in Denmark and Hamburg. The Regional Development department facilitates the development of the eco system for the Life Science sector and the Research facilities. Skåne University Hospital (SUS) is the largest academic medical center in Southern Sweden. Our competences available to other partners in HALRIC includes: advanced data analysis at the meta-level; pseudonymized healthcare data for AI related simulations in a standardized format; and Advanced Therapeutic Medicinal Products (ATMP). |
 |
Medicon Village Innovation (MVI) MVI provides access to the science park and its open, innovation-rich environment that actively promotes wide-ranging cooperation between researchers and between large and small companies. Medicon Village houses the entire health chain from prevention and diagnostics to treatment and care, with a focus on cancer, diabetes, respiratory, lung diseases and inflammatory diseases. |

 |
Deutsches Elektronen-Synchrotron (DESY) DESY provides a large portfolio of instruments allowing to answer a broad range of biomedical questions both using imaging and scattering capabilities. DESY is home to PETRA III, the worlds largest storage ring generating X-ray radiation as well as FLASH, which produces ultrashort pulses of soft X-ray radiation. |
 |
The European XFEL GmbH is an international single site research infrastructure that is jointly financed by 12 countries. It operates a unique 3.4 km long X-ray free-electron laser facility and |
 |
The European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL) EMBL run three beamlines for macromolecular crystallography, X-ray imaging and Small Angle X-ray scattering at PETRA III. The Sample Preparation and Characterisation Facility (SPC) enables access to a high-throughput crystallisation and automated crystal harvesting platform, wet labs and a state-of-the-art Molecular Biophysics Facility. |
 |
University Medical Center Hamburg-Eppendorf (UKE) UKE is a research facility and hospital in Northern Germany with strategic research themes in the area of infectious diseases, structural biology and cross-disciplinary research at the interface of basic biomedical science and nanotechnology.
