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

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.
