• ZIEL (Lübeck Centre for Infection & Inflammation): The core unit for studying microbial threats and chronic inflammatory responses, often collaborating with the nearby Research Center Borstel.
• SkillsLab (Lübecker Lern- und Trainingszentrum): A state-of-the-art simulation hub where students practice invasive procedures and patient communication with standardized actors.
• LIROS (Lübeck Innovation Hub for Robotic Surgery): A high-tech platform where medical students can observe and learn the basics of autonomous and robotic-assisted surgical systems.
• AI Lab (ZKIL): A dedicated facility for Artificial Intelligence in Medicine, allowing students to explore the future of automated diagnostics and digital health.
• Bioanalytic Core Facility: A central lab providing access to mass spectrometry and advanced proteomics for student research projects.
• Single Cell Sequencing Core: One of the most advanced genomic facilities in Germany, supporting personalized medicine and high-resolution disease modeling.
• SAIL (Small Animal Imaging Lübeck): A specialized imaging hub for translational research, bridging the gap between basic lab science and clinical application.
• Lübeck Integrated Oncology Network (LION): A clinical research platform that connects students with high-end tumor boards and experimental cancer therapies.
