The state of Lower Saxony and the Volkswagen Foundation approve funding for scientists at the UMG and the MBExC Cluster of Excellence of about 1 milion euros of the “SPRUNG” (formerly: “Niedersächsisches Vorab”). The team around Tobias Moser focuses on the development of the optical cochlear implant for the restoration

The association honors the Nobel laureate in chemistry, director of the Max Planck Institute (MPI) for Multidisciplinary Natural Sciences in Göttingen and MBExC member for his special services to science. Admission to the Order is one of the highest honors that can be bestowed on researchers or artists in Germany.

New technology platform combines high-throughput recordings of cellular electrophysiology of isolated cardiomyocytes and neurons and their optical stimulation with light. Electrical activity is one of the most important common features of the heart and the brain. The goal of the Göttingen Cluster of Excellence “Multiscale Bioimaging: From Molecular Machines to

There’s a popular misconception that cochlear implants restore natural hearing. In fact, these marvels of engineering give people a new kind of “electric hearing” that they must learn how to use. The scientists led by Tobias Moser, MBExC spokesperson, recognize that today’s cochlear implants run up against hard limits of
