The Hector Foundation honors the director of the Max Planck Institute (MPI) for Biophysical Chemistry and member of the MBExC, Patrick Cramer, for his outstanding research in the field of gene transcription. The prize is endowed with 150,000 euros and was awarded at a virtual event on January 29.

Diastolic heart failure can be reliably detected with the help of a newly developed magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) technology, shows a study by the Göttingen partner site of the German Centre for Cardiovascular Research (DZHK). Until now, this was only possible with an invasive cardiac catheter examination, which is very

The research award is one of the most prestigious in Europe and endowed with 500,000 Swiss francs. With this prize the Louis-Jeantet Foundation honors the director at the Max Planck Institute (MPI) for Biophysical Chemistry and member of the MBExC for his pioneering work in the field of gene transcription.

The Cluster of Excellence “Multiscale Bioimaging” (MBExC) welcomes Dr. Carola Gregor and Dr. Antoine Huet as new Junior Fellows starting in January 2021 for 3 years.

on November 23rd and 30th, 2020, from 1 pm until 5 pm via ZOOM This mini symposium focuses on cross-scale analysis of information processing in cardiac and/or neural networks by means of imaging, optogenetics and/or electrophysiology as well as computational modelling. Such cross-scale analysis propagates insights from the structural and

The exhibition “Sinneswelten” provides special insights into the wonderful world of senses at the cellular level of sensory cells and neurons from an artistic perspective. The displayed images are results of the daily work of the scientists at the Collaborative Research Center 889 (CRC889). They have been acquired with different
