Protein sequencing promises to significantly advance research and medicine, but is expensive and time-consuming. Simultaneous measurement of electrical signals and fluorescence should enable rapid, cost-effective protein sequencing.
Only 41% of people with hearing loss use a hearing aid. NeuroSensEar aims to improve the acceptance of and provision with hearing aids by increasing performance. To this end, bio-inspired sensor technology is combined with sound analysis.
The interdisciplinary NEOSPEK project team is researching how an assistance system consisting of cameras, sensors and artificial intelligence can support surgeons during operations.
The project aims to develop a sensor box to check the quality of sleep, which should replace time-consuming examinations in the laboratory. The box is placed under the mattress at home; there is no need for camera monitoring or wiring.
The Physician Scientist Program at HI-TAC trains research-based physicians in vascular biomedicine, systems biology and cardiac research. The Helmholtz Institute is a cooperation between the University of Heidelberg and the Max Delbrück Center in Berlin.
The OptoCarDi project is focusing on the development of a new type of probe in which three different sensor systems are integrated. The aim is to enable minimally invasive diagnosis of tissue changes in myocardial inflammation.
Dr. Gözde Kabay researches various biomedical fields including biosensors, biomaterials, theranostics and plasma technologies. She studied biomedical engineering in Turkey. After stations in Madison (USA) and Freiburg, she has been a postdoctoral researcher at KIT since 2021.
An interdisciplinary team is researching a solution for the treatment of presbyopia. By use of newly developed intraocular and contact lenses, the lost adaptation of the lens for distance and near is to be restored.
An interdisciplinary project team is developing a system to support surgeons during tumor removal. For this purpose, the intraoperative measurement of optical and mechanical properties is combined with an AI-supported real-time analysis.
Dr Mario Chemnitz holds a PhD in physics. He pursues a highly applied research approach that explores the frontiers of nonlinear optics to innovate at the professional interfaces between biophotonics, physics, and information sciences.
