The Max-Planck-Zentrum für Physik und Medizin (MPZPM) is an interdisciplinary joint research center of the Max Planck Institute for the Science of Light (MPL), Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg (FAU), and Universitätsklinikum Erlangen (UKER). Research at MPZPM addresses fundamental questions in medicine, aiming to understand living systems, biological processes, and their pathological changes from a novel physical perspective.
Core Facilities (CF) at MPZPM provide cutting-edge technologies and form an essential part of the center's scientific infrastructure. The Lab-on-a-Chip (LoC) Facility is equipped with state-of-the-art microfabrication technologies housed within a cleanroom at MPZPM. LoC can also draw on the capabilities of another nanofabrication cleanroom facility at MPL. The unit supports researchers in developing advanced microfluidic chips, microtools and physiologically relevant microenvironments for studies at the interface of physics and medicine.
