New findings about the composition, structure and dynamics of new materials and biological systems can only be obtained by developing innovative analytical (measuring) processes. The knowledge gained in this manner is crucial for deepening our understanding of the causes of disease on a molecular level, paves the way to more precise, personalized medical treatments, and is a key to the characterization and development of new, treatment-improving materials; it calls for and is subject to a constant process of optimization.
The scientific work at ISAS concerns the development of new methods on all levels – from basic research through to the production of prototypes. The following pages will provide you with detailed information about our research topics and projects.
