Prof. Dr. Patsie Polly, UNSW, School of Medical Sciences, Sydney. We greatly appreciated to host Prof. Dr. Patsie Polly from the end of November to the mid of December at our institute and welcome her as project partner on a BayIntAn project of the Bavarian Research Alliance. Repeated collaboration ...

Prof. Seward Rutkove, MD, Harvard Medical School. It was a great pleasure to host Prof. Rutkove for one week in Nov 19 as an FAU Visiting Professorship Fellow. On a side note, he ensured us that his fun-developed "Should I Travel Index" (based on his homepage shoulditravel.org) fully encouraged this...

Chloë Goossens PhD, KU Leuven. Dr. Goossens was visiting from the #1 Reuters ranked KU Leuven to pursue on our joint collaboration in the field of ICU-acquired weakness and presented recent results from structure-function-relation assessment using our opto-biomechatronics platforms in muscle samples...

Dr. Blake Cochran, UNSW SoMS (Sydney). Dr. Blake was visiting the MBT institute through an ongoing DAAD-UA exchange project. Dr. Cochran is a new Lecturer at the School of Medical Sciences at UNSW, having been trained in Biotechnology at University of Wollongong. His focus is on cholesterol homeosta...

Whether demonstrating novel in-house engineered 3D printed tools for biomedical research applications, or a providing hands-on to a unique opto-biomechatronics system to characterise muscle structure-function relationships and to characterise mobility performance in single muscle cells, MBT was also...

Dr. Jan Saam, founder of Ospin. We very much appreciated the inspiring visit of Dr. Jan Saam, which was also accompanied by a talk in course of the CBI colloquium. Here, he introduced us to the modular bioreactor approach of his company Ospin. While Ospin on the one hand provides simple stock soluti...

Biotechnologists, physicists, and medical researchers at FAU have developed technology for microscopic imaging in living organisms. A miniaturised multi-photon microscope, which could be used in an endoscope in future, excites the body’s own molecules to illuminate and enables cells and tissue struc...

Biotechnologists at Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg (FAU) have developed a system to accurately measure muscle weakness caused by structural changes in muscle tissue. The new method allows muscle function to be assessed using imaging without the need for sophisticated biomechanical...
