The manufacture of complex biological products and tissues is groundbreaking for biomedicine, for example in replacing diseased tissue or as an alternative to animal testing, but also for the biotechnological production of cultured meat. The state of Baden-Württemberg and the EU are investing in equipment at the Fraunhofer Institute for Interfacial Engineering and Biotechnology IGB […]

Cambridge, UK, and Lausanne, Switzerland, 05 November 2025: SPT Labtech, a global leader in the design and development of laboratory automation and liquid handling solutions, and Alithea Genomics, a pioneer in the field of large-scale RNA sequencing and transcriptomics, today announced a collaboration to provide an automated solution for single-cell transcriptomics.  The collaboration integrates Alithea […]

Researchers at the German Cancer Research Center (DKFZ) have achieved outstanding success at this year’s world-leading forum for medical image processing and computer-assisted intervention. Two DKFZ departments competed in eight international AI competitions – and won seven of them. The successes cover key areas of oncology – from early detection and diagnosis to therapy support […]

The German Research Foundation (DFG) is funding a new Emmy Noether project led by Jens Puschhof from the German Cancer Research Center (DKFZ). With this project, the junior researcher aims to decipher the role of certain intestinal bacteria in the earliest stages of colorectal cancer development and investigate how this process can be halted. The […]

Daniel Kirschenbaum has developed an experimental method for investigating immune responses in living organisms with high temporal resolution. The technique enabled him and his colleagues to reconstruct the temporal sequence of the immune response in malignant brain tumors for the first time. This opens up new perspectives for the development of targeted and temporally precise […]
