Laboratory of Experimental Micro and Biofluid dynamics<\/strong><\/strong> (\u00b5BS Lab)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is located at the premises of the Department of Electronics, Information and Bioengineering, in the main Polimi Campus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The mission of the laboratory is to carry out research and teaching in the fields of in-vitro biofluid-dynamics and development of devices interacting with biological fluids and tissues. In line with these activities, \u00b5BS Lab provides the Biomech group with multipurpose fluid-dynamic bench testing capabilities, representing the main support environment for the assessment of our thematic laboratories\u2019 technological developments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Research at \u00b5BS Lab is carried out in close contact with laboratories of excellence at other PoliMI Departments and with National and International research centers. Continuous collaborations with Italian and International biomedical industries also take place, particularly in the fields of blood processing apparatuses and devices for cardiovascular surgical\/interventional corrections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lab activities of the Biofluid-dynamics Laboratory teaching course takes place entirely at \u00b5BS Lab, as well as other lab activities pertaining to some other teaching courses of the Master’s Degree Program in Biomedical Engineering.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n

FoRCardioLab<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The laboratory was founded in 2006 thanks to the \u201cFoundation for Research in Cardiac Surgery\u201d, as a joint initiative of PoliMI Biomedical Engineering staff and Cardiac Surgery Division at the \u201cLuigi Sacco\u201d hospital in Milan. It is now located at \u201cCa’ Granda Ospedale Maggiore Policlinico\u201d hospital, in central Milan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The laboratory is based on a strong collaboration of PoliMI researchers with the cardiac surgeons working at the Cardiac Surgery Division of the hospital. The activities of the laboratory are mostly related to in-vitro \/ ex-vivo testing of techniques and implantable devices for cardiac surgery and interventional cardiology. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The experimental activities are carried out with owned apparatuses, purposely developed for exploiting the use of excised animal samples within artificial mock loops, a research topic of which we are a recognized pioneering group at international level. Consistently with the most recent advances in the<\/p>\n\n\n\n

field, transcatheter and minimally invasive approaches are now a main focus of the lab’s activity, which includes the setting of customized mock loops for industrial R&D.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n
