The aim of the work carried out by researchers in the »3D molecular pathology« project is to gain a better understanding of the influence of inflammatory cells on the course of diseases that trigger massive immune reactions.
The objective of FMC is to develop a mobile measuring instrument which can be used to identify bacteria at meat-processing plants. The hand-held measuring instrument uses a method based on plasma gas chromatography-ion mobility spectrometry (Plasma-GC-IMS).
Cells and tissue react very quickly to external stimuli. This project investigates the interactions between these dynamic changes and all kinds of diseases.
Researchers on the »Imaging of Large Tissues« project are developing a workflow to combine the various microscopy imaging methods and analytical, mass spectroscopy methods.
Researchers aim to develop post-ionisation methods using dual laser-based MSI instrumentation (MALDI-2) in the project »Imaging Tissue Metabolism with Enhanced Sensitivity of Dual Laser Mass Spectrometry«.
The special research programme ‘Local Control of Thyroid Hormone Action – LOCOTACT’, led by the University Hospital Essen, is investigating the local control of the effects of thyroid hormones.
