TIMed CENTER Center for Technological Innovation in Medicine

The Center for Technological Innovation in Medicine (TIMed Center) bundles the strengths of the four FH Upper Austria faculties in Hagenberg, Linz, Wels and Steyr, to realize a new, internationally visible main hub in the form of an inter-faculty center for the development of interdisciplinary solutions to technical issues in the life sciences (medicine, biomedicine, biology, biochemistry, molecular biology, biophysics and and bioinformatics). In addition, the Timed Center forces a technology-centered and science-based academic education.

Interdisciplinary research fields

  • Biomedical Data Analysis
  • Biomedical Sensor Technology
  • Biomimetic and Material Design
  • High Resolution Imaging
  • Medical Simulators and Simulation
  • Substance Characterization
