MUW - Medizinische Universitaet Wien
The Medical University of Vienna is one of the largest Universities in Austria and one of the largest Medical Universities in Europe. It provides scientific work environment for approximately 3000 scientists and 2000 support and administrative personnel in medical and basic research fields. Basic financing provided by the state of Austria amounts to roughly €220 million per annum. Over 11000 students are enrolled in the study programs. Medical University Vienna is involved in delivering patient care to about 90.000 patients in the stationary part of General Hospital of Vienna and to approximately 400.000 outpatients each year.
Beneficiary 1 is at the MUW in the capacity of lab leader of the Experimental Allergy Lab within the Department of Dermatology. The laboratory is physically located at the Vienna Competence Centre, where there is contact and shared resources with researchers in the Centre for Molecular Medicine, and Institutes of Immunology, and Molecular Immunology. The building is located across from the Vienna General Hospital, which houses our main clinical department and contains a large number of researchers in clinical and basic science, several with whom we collaborate. We have laboratory and office space and a large array of technical equipment for executing the experiments and coordinating tasks outlined in this proposal. Our animal facilities that we use for current experiments will have sufficient space for the experiments that we planned for this proposal.
