The Molecular Physiology Core-Lab represents the interface between human-physiology experiments and molecular wet-lab methods. Together with the Human Physiology & Prevention Core-Lab, it provides the perfect infrastructure to research metabolism and many more.
The core-competence of Molecular Physiology Lab include many biomedical methods to fulfill research projects.
Usage options
The Core Facility Prevention Center serves as a research platform for numerous projects.
Here are some examples of how you can carry out your project with us. Please feel free to contact us with your individual research project in order to work out the concrete implementation together.

A research group is working on a project for which special equipment available in the PZ is required and/or the premises of the Core Facility are to be used.
The PZ team provides support in the application process by means of a case number-oriented cost calculation. The special strength of the Core Facility lies in the room equipment, which enables multidisciplinary measurements.
Researchers can, for example, combine their own methods with methods available at the PZ and also set up measurement sections that can be used over the longer term.
This is particularly advantageous for projects in which the test subjects are to pass through various measuring stations.
Advantages of using the Core Facility:
- Cost-efficient operation: Only the actual time of use is calculated, no expensive new acquisitions necessary
- Generous, flexible space
- Extensive equipment portfolio

The PZ also offers optimal conditions for smaller projects of individual scientific institutions.
Frequently, such projects involve the collection of parameters that lie outside the expertise of the respective scientists.
Here, the Core Facility supports the search for suitable partners within or outside the department, who may be involved on a fee basis or even come into question as project partners.
Advantages of using the Core Facility:
- High synergies through PZ-/Department-Network: Required competences can be integrated in an uncomplicated way.
- Low entry barriers: The existing PC infrastructure can usually be used without much preparation.

Cost structure
The Core Lab can be used for TUM-internal research projects as well as for external contracts. The costs are based on the project-specific consumption costs and are oriented to the total funding volume.
