MBExC member Gerd Hasenfuß, Director

Supported by the MBExC, Julia Naas (Center for Integrative Bioinformatics Vienna, CIBIV) in collaboration with MBExC member Axel Munk, MBExC Application Specialist Housen Li, Giacomo Nies and Berhard Schmitzer (all Institute for Mathematical Stochastics, University of Göttingen), have designed a 3D virtual journey to represent the optimal transport between protein

Daniela Behrens, Lower Saxony’s Minister for Social Affairs, Health and Equality, visited the University Medical Center Göttingen (UMG). For the newly established child protection outpatient clinic in the Department of Paediatrics and Adolescent Medicine at the UMG, led by MBExC member Jutta Gärtner, the Minister handed over a funding of

The fascinating images from this year’s “World of Senses” exhibition will be on display in the main entrance hall of the University Medical Center Göttingen until 25 August 2022. The exhibition provides special insights into the wonderful world of senses at the cellular level of sensory cells and neurons from

Tobias Moser is one of ten winners of Falling Walls 2022 in the category Life Sciences. The Falling Walls Foundation annually selects top projects worldwide that shape the future of science and society. An international jury acknowledged the outstanding quality and relevance of his research on understanding and restoration of

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

Scientists at the Institute for Auditory Neuroscience, UMG, the Max Planck Institute for Multidisciplinary Sciences and the abberior Instruments GmbH apply high-resolution 3D-MINFLUX technology for precise 3D representation of the molecular organization in the active zone of rod photoreceptor cells.
