Press Release

We are thrilled that the Journal of Biophotonics selected our publication as front cover page for the latest issue. In that work we showed how label-free optical technologies might benefit diagnosis of lung diseases in the future.   For that paper, Dr. Lucas Kreiss and colleagues at MBT and the Un...

Since 2012 the Senectics Healthcare Group has honoured innovative institutes and companies in the fields of medical, pharmaceutical and bioenginieering technology with the „senectics Innovation Award“. In cooperation with NeZuMed and under the patronage of Klaus Holetschek, the Bavarian State Minist...

On February 16 and 17, the Institute of Medical Biotechnology hosted the International SAOT Workshop on Modern Biophotonics in collaboration with the Erlangen Graduate School of Advanced Optical Technologies (SAOT). In this scientific event, several international experts presented fascinating lectur...

Towards a natural source for muscle tissue production, we recently achieved a new milestone together with our collaboration partner blacbird technologies. On the 18th of January, we started setting up the new MyoBio v.2 prototype. Despite its broad application, the MyoBio was generally designed to p...

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...

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...
