The Long Night of Research engages ’heart and mind’
On the Medical Research Mile on the Long Night of Research on 20 May 2022, MedUni Vienna's focus will be on two major organs of the human body. The heart and brain can be explored not only via commentated operations livestreamed to a lecture theatre but also at numerous other stations. In other highlights, participants can gain insights into emergency care, delve into the fascinating immune system, and look over the shoulders of cancer researchers as they work. This year, for the first time during the Long Night of Research, brain surgery will be livestreamed to the MedUni Vienna Lecture Center within University Hospital Vienna. Starting at 21:00, participants will be able to observe a microsurgical procedure to treat a brain aneurysm. Before the operation, they will be given information about the diagnosis, prognosis and treatment of aneurysms so that they are better able to understand what is happening. This year visitors can once again see what has now become a regular feature, a livestream of a heart operation from University Hospital Vienna (19:15 hrs).
