Description

How can we tailor medicines and dosages directly to an individual to optimise their effect on that person’s body – all in a card-sized format? How can we reduce the use of animals in pharmaceutical research? Our researchers will answer these questions in collaboration with colleagues from the Dresden Heart Centre. We’re offering you manpower, an exercise bike to test your own vital signs, and a digital game to ‘fill’ a lab-on-a-chip system yourself.
