Biomedical Engineering and Medical Physics Lab Course
Registration and team formation
The registration and team formation can be done via TUMonline.
Safety instruction
A safety instruction is obligatory for each participant before taking part at the advanced lab course and then at least once a year. The safety instruction including a test is done in an online Moodle course.
Current information
There will be a preliminary meeting for the lab course. At this meeting the current's semester experiments will be presented and individual questions will be answered. The registration can be done via TUMonline. You can also get the link for this online event via the Moodle course of the degree program.

General information
In the advanced internship module, the scientific work in the laboratory is reproduced by medical physicists. The students go through the essential phases of interdisciplinary research, from the preparation and implementation of experiments through the evaluation of the data obtained to the presentation to the discussion of their own results in the context of current publications.
For this purpose, the students group in teams of usually three students to try out together an experiment from the above mentioned catalog of the advanced internship. Each of these demanding experiments includes a preparation phase with the help of the experiment instructions, supplemented by literature research and guided by an introductory discussion with the experiment supervisor. It also includes the implementation of the experiment documenting a protocol, preparing a written report of the test results and a final discussion of the results with the experiment supervisor.
The structure of the advanced internship is chosen so that the students can get to know the work of a medical physicist, both in clinical routine and in research. In line with the close connection between research and teaching that is common in specialist training, the internship gives the students a representative cross-section of current research activities. The above mentioned catalog of experiments of the advanced internship are thematically integrated into the working groups of the Physics Department, the University Hospital of TUM and the associated groups in the Munich School of BioEngineering and are also carried out there. Students have the opportunity to actively get to know various research areas at the cutting edge.
The overall supervision of the advanced internship is provided by Prof. Pfeiffer and Prof. Herzen
- Preparation in advance (if it is insufficient, the corresponding participants can be rejected)
- Experimental procedure
- Drafting (in writing)
- Colloquium (final discussion and examination with an approx. duration of 30 min)
The Advanced Training will only be evaluated with pass/fail by the corresponding course responsible. For the successfully passed course 6 Credit points will be granted in TUMOnline.
