Project overview

Prof. Dr. Kristina Herfert has been appointed Junior Professor for Functional and Metabolic Brain Imaging at the University of Tübingen for the summer semester 2021.

Prof. Dr. Florian Heigwer, Professor of Synthetic Biotechnology at the Bingen University of Technology, is investigating how genes and signaling pathways regulate the resistance of organisms to environmental influences.

Dr. Kai Melde conducts research into the formation of complex sound fields and their interaction with particles and cells. He studied mechatronics at TU Dresden and worked at the Palo Alto Research Center in California. Most recently, he worked at the Max Planck Institute for Medical Research in Heidelberg.

People of the same chronological age often differ greatly in biological age. The aim of the project is to better understand the causes of biological ageing and to be able to measure them as accurately as possible using biomarkers.

Prof. Dr. Andreas Walter, Professor of Biomedical Imaging & Biophotonics, is researching the implementation of super-resolution cryo-fluorescence microscopy and its combination with scanning electron microscopy.

INTACT is researching a miniaturized transport system with intelligent ultrasound- and photonics-based sensor technology that for the first time realizes continuous transport and real-time analysis of intestinal contents discharged via a stoma in newborn and premature infants.

Prof. Dr. Maria Dienerowitz, Professor of Laser Technology at the Ernst Abbe University of Applied Sciences Jena, is developing a system in the BioLOC project that can be used to study freely moving single molecules in a compact microfluidic device.

Prof. Dr. Michael Habeck has been appointed as Endowed Professor for Microscopic Image Analysis at the University of Jena starting winter semester 2019.

MINI is investigating the non-invasive blockade of nerve conduction using high-frequency magnetic stimulation. To this end, the project team combines scientific expertise from the fields of anesthesiology, medical physics and biomedical microtechnology.

The aim of the project is to 3D print microrobots made of different materials with a level of detail precision in the nanometer range. By combining different materials, the microrobots can take on a variety of functions.
