Defeating diseases – April 2023 Issue

The content of the current issue of forschung leben focuses on the vision of conquering diseases. Researchers are working every day to bring the fulfillment of this vision a little closer. This calls for interdisciplinarity, and this is where the strengths of the University of Stuttgart come into play - for example, through its "Biomedical Systems" research area, which fuses life sciences and engineering to radically improve biomedical research and healthcare technologies by incorporating intelligent systems.

Learn how diseases can be treated in a personalized way with fewer side effects thanks to new methods and procedures. And marvel at robotic assistants that help doctors during operations.

Selected articles

How cells make decisions

Researchers at the University of Stuttgart are investigating cell processes using mathematical modeling and artificial intelligence.

Encouraging independent experimentation

The MEDtechBIO of the "School for Talents" is an offer of the University of Stuttgart for particularly high-achieving students, which is funded by the German Research Foundation as part of the of German federal and state excellence strategy.

Special crystals for biomedicine

From studying physics to founding a start-up: two alumni of the University of Stuttgart are using their laser technology to enable more in-depth biomedical cell analyses and thus more precise diagnoses and therapies, for example for cancer.

Personalized medicine with smarter band-aids

New materials designed to enable the controlled release of active ingredients in band-aids.

Prof. Syn Schmitt: Musculature and machinery

Prof. Syn Schmitt combines his enjoyment of sports and his passion for physics by simulating human movements, an activity that is not only laying the groundwork for the next generation of robots but may also provide evidence in a murder case.

Seizing opportunities

Prof. Laura Na Liu and her team are working at the interface between nanophotonics and DNA nano engineering.

Bridging Biology and Technology

They are investigating novel methods and procedures that could be used to provide personalized disease treatments with fewer side effects. As they work toward this goal, the researchers in the emerging field of "Biomedical Systems" are breaking new

Simulation science at the top

The University of Stuttgart launched the Data-integrated Simulation Science Cluster of Excellence in 2019. In this interview, the previous spokesperson for the cluster, Prof. Thomas Ertl, and his successors, Prof. Wolfgang Nowak and Prof. Steffen Staab provide an interim review.

H₂Mare - Gamechanger in the energy crisis?

Green energy sources on the high seas. For the H₂Mare project, two institutes at the university are researching how hydrogen could be produced on the high seas and thus solve future energy problems.

How to teach AI literacy

Artificial intelligence and software engineering will probably be among the most important technologies of the future. The Artificial Intelligence Software Academy (AISA) wants to use an interdisciplinary approach to boost these key competencies at the University of Stuttgart both in research and education.

Lighter satellites thanks to new technology

More power less weight: the use of perovskite solar cells in space exploration is a recent field of research with great potential.

Enthusiasm for space research: Prof. Sabine Klinkner

Small satellites are the shooting stars of space travel and are at the center of Prof. Sabine Klinkner’s research and teaching. She and her team are advancing the development of these smaller systems.
