Researchers at ISAS are working on a gaining a more precise understanding of the molecular cuases of NMDs in order to improve treatment options, which are currently limited. NMDs are diseases that affect the interaction of nerves and muscles.
Julia Lill wants to understand why the body's own immune cells can even aggravate some diseases such as cancer instead of fighting them. Therefore, she examines specialised immune cells in the tumour microenvironment.
Sebastian Brandt's microtube plasma unites sample delivery and ionisation for the first time in combination with a nano-electrospray - so that a large number of complex analytes in a sample, including cholesterol, can be examined more reliably and efficiently than before.
Elen Tolstik is looking for biomarkers to improve the treatment of cardiovascular diseases. In order to find the molecular fingerprint of these diseases, she examines proteins and lipids in healthy and sick mice.
