Biomedical Engineering Laboratory is working to produce solutions beyond the state of the art. Since 1989, we have relentlessly studied the relevant literature and have been striving to overachieve. With an ever growing family of researchers and alumni we have had the maximum impact on society and we continue to work effortlessly in order to produce even more.

The Photonics Communications Research Laboratory (PCRL) was founded in September 1995 by Prof. Hercules Avramopoulos, as a research facility of the School of Electrical and Computer Engineering of National Technical University of Athens (NTUA), and member of the Institute of Communications & Computer Systems (ICCS). It currently numbers 31 doctoral, post-doctoral researchers and support personnel. Their research interests include optical interconnects and telecommunications, digital signal processing, photonic integrated circuit (PIC) design, and biophotonics/sensing

Since June 2018, the two academic hospitals AMC and VUmc have merged to form Amsterdam UMC. With over 16,000 people, the two locations of Amsterdam UMC work together to provide good and accessible care. Amsterdam UMC focuses on a future where diseases can be prevented and where patients receive the best treatments. The emphasis is on the complex treatment of rare disorders.
 

At Amsterdam UMC we train thousands of young people to become doctors, specialists or nurses. Amsterdam UMC has eight research institutes. The researchers affiliated with these are internationally among the top in medical scientific research. Through the cooperation of Amsterdam UMC with other hospitals in the region of Noord-Holland and Flevoland, the patient receives the highest quality of care in the right place. At Amsterdam UMC we offer excellent academic patient care, state-of-the-art scientific research and top-level education and training.
