Fully-grown all-rounders.

Fully-grown all-rounders

Early embryonic stem cells are totipotent. This means that they are capable of developing into cells of any tissue type in the Body. This makes them very interesting for regenerative medicine.


The green biofactory in the fight against AIDS and malaria

The green biofactory in the fight against AIDS and malaria

AIDS and malaria are among the world's most dangerous infectious diseases, and new drugs are urgently needed in sufficient quantities for their diagnosis and treatment.


Systems biology for more effective treatment.

Systems biology for more effective treatment

With systems biology, a new method has become established in the medical research community. This method has turned the study of biological systems into a quantitative science.

Industrial Biotechnology - Clean Laundry at Low Temperatures

The use of microorganisms in industrial processes is the key to solving climate and environmental challenges. Within a Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) funded project a solution for new detergents was found.


Novel high-yield barley lines with better grain quality under drought stress will be needed if climate change progresses.

Plant Biotechnology - Modern Plant Breeds for Drought-Resistant Barley

Genome research will help to develop new plant breeds. Under the roof a BMBF funded project researchers look for drought-resistant barley.


Light and ultrasound can make visible the red fluorescent spine inside a living fish: Multispectral optoacoustic tomography (MSOT) enables the investigation of sub-cellular processes in living organisms.

Medical Biotechnology – A deeper look with sounds

A group of researchers headed by Vasilis Ntziachristos from the Technical University and Hemholtz Center Munich have developed entirely new methods that allow studies to be carried out on living organisms.
