lab4you: Supporting Young Scientists with Bright Ideas

Young scientists from all over Europe are being invited to apply for laboratory bench space in the "Shimadzu Laboratory World" located at the company’s European headquarters in Duisburg, Germany, as part of the lab4you student programme.

With the opportunity to pursue their own creative research projects, the students will be able to access and use state-of-the-art laboratory equipment provided by Shimadzu, a leading analytical instrumentation company. HPLC/UHPLC, SFC and GC as well as mass spectrometry, MALDI, spectroscopy (UV, IR, FTIR, ICP) and materials testing technology are all available in an area of 1,500 square meters.

"The spacious laboratory environment with its high-quality systems ideally supports young scientists in advancing their research approaches and innovations," said Björn-Thoralf Erxleben, Shimadzu European Innovation Center. "Topics explored in the lab4you program range from new UHPLC MS-MS methods for battery research, metabolites of drugs in plants, or the fracture and fatigue behavior of carbon fiber-reinforced plastics, to the development of new methods for therapeutic drug monitoring."

Young scientists from Austria, Italy, Poland and Germany, who are at the beginning of their careers and professional development, have already advanced their research hunder this initiative, the company said.

The lab4you program is affiliated with the Shimadzu European Innovation Center, bringing together business and academia, while working with universities across Europe to develop analytics solutions for tomorrow, that is, new methods, instruments, techniques and software solutions.

有兴趣的科学家应在2022年10月31日前提交申请，并附上他们研究工作的简短英文摘要。在研究项目期间将提供实验室空间。参与lab4you项目的要求是自然科学学位，一个鼓舞人心的研究课题和分析技术的先验知识。该项目面向分析仪器或材料测试技术所发挥作用的所有科学领域的硕士和博士学生，以及博士后。由内部评审委员会选出成功的申请人。
