  • In this issue of lookKIT, we introduce the KIT Center of Health Technologies (HealthTech), which was established on March 1, 2023. Find out how the group of Dr. Axel Loewe precisely models cardiac function to locate the origin of extrasystoles. The interview of Dr. Claudia Niessner and Dr. Janina Krell-Rösch deals with the importance of sport and physical activity, beginning at a very young age and continuing through old age, for maintaining health. We also present the interdisciplinary project “JuBot”. KIT researchers develop humanoid assistance robots and wearable exoskeletons for use in care centers. Organs produced by a 3D printer are still a long way off. A group headed by Professor Ute Schepers studies 3D bioprinting, tissue engineering, and organ-on-a-chip systems to make the vision of customized organs come true.
