CASE STUDY KLINIKUM RECHTS DER ISAR TECHNISCHE UNIVERSITY MUNICH
A renowned scientific institute in Munich is studying the genetic form of leukemia. When someone is diagnosed with leukemia, they have a blood test carried out straight away. They also undergo a detailed genetic analysis. If, once the patient's DNA code has been established, a particular gene is missing, tests are performed on mice to see whether this defect also causes the mice to develop the disease in five to seven years' time. A defective human gene can also be injected into a mouse. The results provide insights into the origins of the genetic form of leukemia and enable new medication to be developed. The BINDER simulation chambers are vital to the institute's work, as they provide plenty of space for growing cells and offer high quality.
