Development  of equipment for science in space

To conduct biomedical experiments in space instruments with exceptional properties are required. The Competence Center Bioscience and Medical Engineering develops this kind of specialized equipment in close collaboration with other Competence Centers at the Lucerne University of Applied Sciences and Arts and with the industry.

Sample project Pathway Different Activators PADIAC

The space experiment PADIAC is a good example of one of our studies conducted on the International Space Station ISS. This experiment was conducted in order to analyze the intracellular mechanisms that are deactivated in zero gravity. The PADIAC developed the hypothesis that suppression of interleukin-2 (IL -2) receptor expression by T cells is triggered in the absence of gravity by the sensitivity of the CD28 "signaling pathway". The required hardware was produced in collaboration with RUAG Space, Nyon and SpaceTec, Berne.
