Location & approach

By car

The campus of TU Dortmund University is located close to interstate junction Dortmund West, where the Sauerlandlinie A45 (Frankfurt-Dortmund) crosses the Ruhrschnellweg B1/A40. The best interstate exit to take from A45 is "Dortmund-Eichlinghofen (6)" (closer to Campus Süd), and from B1/A40 "Dortmund-Barop (44)" (closer to Campus Nord). Signs for the university are located at both exits. Follow the signs towards Campus-Süd.

The Chair of Materials Test Engineering (WPT) is located in the "Maschinenbau III" building, which can be reached via entrance 41, where parking spaces are available. The secretariat is located on the third floor in E 03 - room 3.027.

For the approach to the TU Dortmund University you will find the navigation on Google Maps.

Address for navigation devices:

Baroper Straße 303

Germany

By train

TU Dortmund University has its own train station ("Dortmund Universität"). From there, suburban trains (S-Bahn) leave for Dortmund main station ("Dortmund Hauptbahnhof") and Düsseldorf main station via the "Düsseldorf Airport Train Station" (take S-Bahn number 1). The university is easily reached from Bochum, Essen, Mülheim an der Ruhr and Duisburg. From there, Campus Süd, where the Department of Materials Test Engineering (WPT) is located, can be reached in five minutes via the H-Bahn in the direction of "Eichlinghofen" or "Campus Süd".

After leaving the H-Bahn station "Campus Süd" cross the small street and go straight forward. Take the stairs (elevator on the left side).
Turn right directly under the canopy, go approximately 200 m, the Building "Maschinenbau III" is at the end of the path.

The office is located on the third floor in E03 - room 3.027.

Dortmund's public transport company DSW21 offers an interactive route network map with timetable information.

The H-Bahn

The H-Bahn is one of the hallmarks of TU Dortmund University. There are two stations on Campus Nord. One ("Dortmund Universität S") is directly located at the suburban train stop, which connects the university directly with the city of Dortmund and the rest of the Ruhr Area. Also from this station, there are connections to the "Technologiepark" and (via Campus Süd) Eichlinghofen. The other station is located at the dining hall at Campus Nord and offers a direct connection to Campus Süd every five minutes

By plane

The AirportExpress is a fast and convenient means of transport from Dortmund Airport (DTM) to Dortmund Central Station, taking you there in little more than 20 minutes. From Dortmund Central Station, you can continue to the university campus by interurban railway (S-Bahn). A larger range of international flight connections is offered at Düsseldorf Airport (DUS), which is about 60 kilometres away and can be directly reached by S-Bahn from the university station.

SP-6

In-vitro-cytocompatibility and In-vivo-tests of additively manufactured implants in the context of the demonstration, expansion and development of a valid Ex-vivo-test bench for the holistic mechanical-biological assessment of biomaterials

The overall objective of the subproject is the basic and expanded representation of a comprehensive cyto- and biocompatibility of the implants and new surfaces manufactured by the project partners. The results will be put into the overall context of the characterization, manufacturing and interdisciplinary evaluation of permanent implants. Furthermore, the conclusions will be implemented in the discussions and evaluation of the different working groups. The subproject can be divided into four objectives that build on one another. The first objective is the representation of a sufficient basic cytocompatibility of the implants and surfaces. Thereby, incompatible materials can be excluded from further and more complex investigations at an early time point. The tests are followed by more complex cytocompatibility analysis using additional cell types in co- and multi-cultures as well as investigation of hemocompatibility. The most promising materials and surfaces are tested in small animal models (subcutaneous, calotte) with subsequent histopathological, histomorphometric, immunohistochemical and tomography (μCT) analysis. The results are compared and correlated with the preceding results of the other work packages. The fourth goal is the introduction of a biological test bench which aims to simulate the In-vivo-situation. Thereby, the results from the test bench will be correlated with the results of the cyto- and biocompatibility analysis. Finally, recommendations for the future reduction of animal experiments will be implemented on the basis of the overall results and correlations.
