  • Live-Cell Single-Molecule Fluorescence

    Prof. Christof Gebhardt, along with PhD student Devin Assenheimer and the team from Ulm University told us about their research. “We perform single-molecule fluorescence microscopy both in vitro and in vivo within cells, with the aim to also image small organisms.

  • Organoid Light Sheet Imaging

    Dr. Franziska Decker aims to follow the differentiation of tissues and the development of organoids in 3D using a custom-built light sheet microscope. This work is mainly done with kidney organoids and gastruloids.

  • iSIM Live Cell Imaging

    The Dickinson lab aims to understand the generation of polarity in cells, namely when two ends of a living cell become molecularly distinct from each other. Polarity is vital for the proper function of cells and can become disrupted in diseases such as cancer.

  • Live Cell Microfluidic Platform

    Mekonos Inc. is a start-up company developing a biomedical microelectromechanical system (bio-MEMS) platform based on semiconductor and microfluidic technologies, to enable single-cell transfection with high viability and a scalable workflow.

  • Delayed Fluorescence Imaging

    The Anthony Hall group is a world-leading lab with a focus on understanding wheat genomics. Their work seeks to bridge the gap between traditionally used model plant organisms and crop species with real-world applications.

  • FRET Voltage Imaging

    Prof. Jiulin Du’s group is engaged in understanding the mechanisms of how multiple sources of sensory information are integrated in our central nervous system in order to execute behaviors. They investigate neuronal activity through in vivo electrophysiological recording and optical imaging on the model organism zebrafish.

  • High-Speed Voltage Imaging

    The lab of Prof. Xue Han uses optical methods to probe neural circuits in awake animals. With a background in optogenetics, Prof. Han has developed many key molecular tools for optogenetics, including SomArchon, an archaerhodopsin-based voltage sensor.

  • High Content Multiplex Fluorescence at Institute of Science and Technology Austria

    The lab of Prof. Johann Danzl focuses on research and development of cutting-edge technology to study biological phenomena at time and length scales that would be inaccessible with existing approaches. Conventional light microscopes are limited by diffraction and achieve a resolution of approximately half the wavelength of light used for imaging.

  • Whole Tissue Calcium Imaging

    Dr. Marcel Hörning is a physicist and bioengineer, the Principal Investigator of the Biobased Materials Group, led by Prof. Ingrid Weiss at the University of Stuttgart. Dr. Hörning recently obtained funding from the DFG for research into electro-mechanical wave formations in cardiac tissue.

  • Single Molecule Localisation Microscopy

    Senior Ph.D. student Alexander Jügler works in the Heintzmann Lab, which studies super-resolution imaging applications such as single-molecule localization microscopy (SMLM), and works on improving the phototoxicity and resolution of such techniques while making them easier to work with.

  • High Flux Plasma Spectroscopy

    With the transition to sustainable energy and new energy technologies, research into controlled nuclear fusion is being carried out. In a worldwide collaboration, the tokamak ITER is being developed and built in Cadarache, France. This is one of the first steps for realizing power plants that can generate clean and reliable energy for the future.

  • Voltage Imaging at the University of Porto

    Dr. Miguel Aroso is a researcher involved in the functional assessment of neuronal populations using multi-electrode arrays (MEAs) and voltage imaging. This work is done in order to characterize neuronal circuits and how they communicate, how to control this activity, and how this can be used as a model for studying epilepsy and predicting seizures.
