Scientific Infrastructure

Vice Dean's Office for Scientific Infrastructure

The team of the Vice Dean's Office for scientific infrastructure organizes and coordinates the Core Facilities, as well as the further development of research infrastructures at the Faculty. In the Core Facilities, highly developed technologies, scientific services and equipment are combined as an organizational unit and made available to researchers at the University Hospital, the University and external users within the framework of the Bonn Technology Campus Life Sciences (BTC).

We are your point of contact for:

  • Core Facility management (user management, equipment booking software PPMS, service portfolio, internal cost allocation, cooperation and service agreements)
  • preparation of proposals for major research instruments and Core Facilities
  • integration of Core Facility services into grant applications
  • communication and public relations in the field of research infrastructure
  • needs assessments for research infrastructures
  • annual evaluation report of the Core Facilities at the Medical Faculty

Dean's commission Core Facilities

The Dean's Commission Core Facilities meets four times a year to review and decide on funding applications submitted by Core Facilities and members of the Faculty of Medicine. The decisions serve as draft resolutions for the meeting of the Dean's Council.

Upcoming meetings

Monday, September 29th, 11 am - 13 pm

Friday, December 19th, 9 - 11 am


Please submit topics exclusively by email to DEK.technology@ukbonn.de at least 3 weeks before the meeting. You will then receive the necessary application forms, which must be available at least 2 weeks before the meeting.

News about projects we supported
Obesity causes lungs to age prematurely
What effects does severe obesity have on the lungs? A research team led by Prof. Dr. Veronika Lukacs-Kornek from the ‘ImmunoSensation2’ Cluster of Excellence at the University of Bonn and the Institute for Molecular Medicine and Experimental Immunology (IMMEI) at the University Hospital Bonn (UKB) investigated this question. The results suggest that obesity causes the lungs to age faster. The findings have been published in the journal ‘Cell Reports’.
The Core Facilities at the University of Bonn have a lot to offer
The University of Bonn is continuously expanding its research infrastructure – thereby creating the foundation for the success of its researchers. Under the umbrella of the Bonn Technology Campus (BTC), 14 core facilities are now available for university-wide use, combining cutting-edge technologies, specialized expertise, and comprehensive services. They provide all researchers at the university with access to instruments and methods that would often be inaccessible or difficult to obtain for individual research groups. In doing so, the University of Excellence creates the conditions necessary to put research ideas into practice at the highest level.
Fat cells under false command
Too much fat can be unhealthy: how fat cells, so-called adipocytes, develop, is crucial for the function of the fat tissue. That is why a team led by researchers from the University Hospital Bonn (UKB) and the University of Bonn investigated the influence of primary cilia dysfunction on adipocyte precursor cells in a mouse model. They found that overactivation of the Hedgehog signaling pathway causes abnormal development into connective tissue-like cells instead of white fat cells. Their findings have now been published in The EMBO Journal.
Reducing Neuroinflammation Could Help Fight Alzheimer’s
Alzheimer’s disease is the most common cause of dementia. A promising approach for its treatment is the prevention of inflammatory processes in the brain. An international team of scientists around Dr. Róisín McManus, Prof. Eicke Latz and Prof. Michael Heneka now provide new evidence supporting this approach and potentially contributing to the development of more effective therapies. The results have now been published in the journal “Immunity”.
