Labs and Facilities

The centre is organized in seven multi-disciplinary laboratories:

  • Integrated Technologies for Health (IT4H)
  • Health Systems and Processing management
  • Technology evaluation and Characterization
  • Modeling of physiological systems
  • Clinical study design and management
  • Smart-Health
  • Biophysics and System Physiology (B&SP)
  • Cell culture
  • Microfabrication
  • Electron Microscopy (SEM, AFM)
  • Confocal Microscopy
