Laboratory Of Biomechanics & Biocalorimetry (LOB2)
COLLABORATIONS & PROJECT FUNDING
COLLABORATIONS:
Collaborations of course make it possible for research groups to accomplish things they cannot do by themselves. The majority of LOB's work is collaborative. LOB both leads collaborative projects and contributes to projects lead by others. Research groups at University of Basel with whom LOB currently collaborates include (in alphabetic order):
- HFZ (High-Tech-Forschungs-Zentrum), Maxillo-Facial Surgery, University of Basel Hospital
- Immunology Laboratory, Rheumatology Department, University of Basel Hospital
- Laboratory for Gait Analysis, University of Basel Children's Hospital
- M.E. Müller Institute for Structural Biology, Biozentrum, University of Basel
- Preventive Dentistry & Oral Microbiology, Clinics for Dentistry, University of Basel
- Tissue Engineering, Department of Research, University of Basel Hospital
PROJECT FUNDING:
LOB uses a portion of its core funds for pilot studies, to provide data for grant and contract proposals.
Outside support is necessary for all larger projects.
Many LOB projects are supported by grants from private foundations or government.
In addition, LOB actively seeks to perform r&d under contracts with industry.
Typical industrial partners include companies producing surgical, pharmaceutical and fitness products, and also laboratory instrument and supply companies. Contract study information is disseminated only with permission of the sponsor, as per contractual agreement.
