A new laboratory and research building for pathology, human genetics, and microbiology is being constructed at Oberer Schnarrenberg in an attractive hillside setting. The new building represents an important component in the master plan of the Tübingen University Hospital (UKT), aimed at bringing together various institutes that are currently at different locations and constructing a preclinical center. In addition to housing the areas for molecular diagnostics and new DNA sequencing technologies (Next Generation Sequencing NGS) as well as a central biological database, it will also incorporate the neuropathology research groups. The new building will be constructed at the western edge of the development area on the UKT hill between the institutes for microbiology and virology to the north, the Institute for Clinical Anatomy (Anatomie 1) to the west, and the temporary teaching center and future new anatomy building (Anatomie 2) to the southwest.
