AMBIO is working for 10 years, now (AMBIO is short for Advances Medical BIOimaging core facility of the @ChariteBerlin ).
Today we have a symposium with lots of talks, but also expert tables, device demos and an microscopy image competition.Brace for some talk summaries and probably very pretty flourescence microscopy images. #AMBIO10years #AMBIO
edit info: corrected the language and made the alt text of the image more detailed. #alttext
After some nice introduction speaches by Britta Eickholt, the dean of faculty, and the Nikon General Manager, our #AMBIO Head Jan Schmoranzer gives an overview over the last 10 years of core facility work.
Now, Ralf Jungmann from the MPI Biochemistry in Munich is talking about their approach of sub nanometer flourescence microscopy with DNA-Paint and RESI with many biological applications. #AMBIO10years
And here the image of Ralf Jungmanns last slide and a link to his Lab: https://www.biochem.mpg.de/jungmann/
Next is Marina Mikhaylova from HU Berlin, talking about Imaging in Neuroscience. #AMBIO10years
Closing the morning session is Kai Murk, from the AG Eickholt, here at Charitė. He is talking about Astrocytes, and mainly about astrocytes in tissue and reaction to injury and wounds, with some examples also from live cell imaging. #AMBIO10years
After a short coffee break, Jost Enninga from Institue Pasteur Paris is talking about intracellular lifestyles of pathogenes, and how he and his group is observing this at the microscope. #AMBIO10years
Jost presented a workflow and a toolbox to analyse data for everyone to use. This was all to quick, I could not include videos, but the capabilities are very impressive, judging from the animations/zoom. #AMBIO10years
And one image more from Jost: How shigella bacteria poke holes in cell membranes with their "bacterial needles" #AMBIO10years
The next talk is by Nadja Hümpfer from the @ewerslab at @fubcp .
She did a lot of imaging at #AMBIO at our light-sheet microscope, to look at living cells for a long time, without photodamage. #AMBIO10years
Nadja could enter "the dark zone", the mid body, by expansion microscopy. Here is a nice slide with an overview of the principles of the technique. #AMBIO10years
