Der interdisziplinäre Studiengang Gesundheitswissenschaften und Technologie vermittelt umfassendes Wissen über den menschlichen Organismus – vom gesamten Menschen bis zur zellulären Ebene des Körpers. Der Praxisbezug der Lehrveranstaltungen spielt dabei eine wichtige Rolle. So lernen die Studentinnen und Studenten, einen Versuch durchzuführen und Messdaten wissenschaftlich korrekt zu erheben. In einem Experiment untersuchen sie beispielsweise, wie sich die Kraft ihres eigenen Muskels in Abhängigkeit der Kontraktion verändert. Um die Eigenschaften von menschlichen und künstlichen Muskeln vergleichen zu können, ermitteln die Studierenden die-selben Kennlinien auch für einen so genannten pneu- matischen Muskel.

Horten Health Foundation

Endowed Professorships

The Horten Health Foundation is donating CHF 10 million each to the University of Zurich and ETH Zurich to establish one chair in biomedical informatics at each institution.

This generous financial contribution supports a key pillar of The LOOP Zurich strategy and enables the development of an important research and technology area at The LOOP Zurich.
