Laboratory Infrastructure
No diagnosis without a lab! Biomedical analysts provide physicians with crucial information necessary for diagnosis, treatment, and monitoring treatment progress. In our state-of-the-art laboratory facilities on the Klagenfurt Mitte campus, you’ll learn how to work hands-on with the latest equipment and instruments.
