VENUE: Paulinerkirche Göttingen

This symposium focuses on multiscale X-ray phase-contrast tomography performed at different european synchrotrons. Different organs are visualized in high resolution by X-ray based imaging, ranging from virtual histology of tissues, intraoperative histology, functional imaging in vivo, towards applications in humans. Furthermore, future directions of X-ray based imaging strategies will be discussed by the experts.

We are exited and hopeful that this symposium can take place in-person as planned. However, due to the current COVID-19 restrictions, only a limited number of participants are allowed at the lecture hall in the Paulinerkirche.

The European Society for Molecular Imaging (ESMI) represents the scientific community involved in multidisciplinary molecular imaging science. This includes basic, preclinical, translational, and clinical research on imaging technologies, methodologies, biomarkers and probes, modeling, and data analysis. Central to its mission is the creation of a collaborative community to pursue new ideas to image biological processes. ESMI strives to transfer this knowledge from experimental imaging studies to the implementation of diagnostic and therapeutic strategies.

The ESMI Board has acknowledged the clear demand by the community to enhance the chance for a f2f EMIM in 2021 rather than to go for another virtual meeting. For that reason the EMIM 2021 was postponed to the last week of August. The subsequent EMIM 2022 is again scheduled for March 2022 in Thessaloniki.

It is with honour and delight that the Opening Lecture will be delivered by Stefan W. Hell.

The Hertha Sponer College Lecture Series is addressed to interested students, PhD candidates, postdocs, and PIs. The overall idea is to fundamentally explain research by providing an overview about the general aims of the six MBExC Research Alliances with special focus on the specific techniques that are developed and applied. The lectures take place on Tuesdays at 5 pm within the semester term, and are offered by MBExC PIs. Subsequent to lecture and discussion, Hertha Sponer College members have the opportunity to “Meet-the-PI” and each other for asking more specific or general questions, networking and socializing.

Session:  “Epigenetic Regulation of Gene Transcritpion”

07 Sept: “tba”, Prof. Dr. André Fischer, Epigenetics and Systems Medicine in Neurodegenerative Diseases, German Center for Neurodegenerative Diseases (DZNE)

21 Sept: “Towards therapies against SARS-CoV2 infections”, Prof. Dr. Matthias Dobbelstein, Institute of Molecular Oncology, UMG

05 Oct: “tba”, Prof. Dr. Elisabeth Zeisberg, Department of Cardioloy and Pneumology, UMG

02 Nov: “tba”, Prof. Dr. Silvio Rizzoli, Institute of Neuro- and Sensory Physiology, UMG

16 Nov: “tba”, Prof. Dr. Ralf Ficner, Department of Molecular Structural Biology, Institute for Microbiology & Genetics, UG

Electron microscopy is central to MBExC’s mission of bridging the scales in biological imaging. Celebrating the inauguration of the cryo-EM platform of the University of Göttingen, in this symposium we will showcase exciting MBExC research from ultra-fast microscopy, single-particle cryo-EM, electron tomography to FIB/SEM.
