Human body donor facility
The body donor facility is housed at the Center for Anatomy and Cell Biology of the Medical University of Vienna. It provides access to body donor material and to infrastructure for dissection, photography and video documentation.
Cardiac insights from the imaging lab
In the Hybrid OR facility, a small animal operating room (OR) sits across from the preclinical imaging laboratory, replete with echocardiography, CT, PET and MRI scanners for the assessment of cardiac morphology, structure, function and metabolism. This new hybrid PET-MRI system will enable assessing disease activity in the heart while MRI scanning provides detailed anatomic imaging and tissue characterization.
Imaging Diagnostic for Large Animals
The Department of Imaging Diagnostic at University of Veterinary Medicine of Vienna is equipped with MRI and CT to image large animals.
Oral Biology – Morphometrics
The research portfolio includes explant cultures and preclinical research, with the main focus on bone regeneration and the osseointegration of dental implants. The group takes advantage of µCT to investigate the skull anatomy of various mouse models by geometrics morphometrics.
Plant Phenotyping
The PHENOPlant phenotyping platform is designed for non-invasive, morphometric and physiological high-throughput phenotyping of mid-size crop plants as well as Arabidopsis and is fully integrated into a state-of-the-art walk-in phytotron providing highly homogeneous plant growth conditions.
