MunichImaging

MunichImaging is the official channel of the Institute of Biological and Medical Imaging (IBMI) at Helmholtz Munich and the Chair of Biological Imaging (CBI) at the Technical University of Munich (TUM). Head and director is Prof. Vasilis Ntziachristos. MunichImaging is the cornerstone of a rapidly expanding bioengineering ecosystem in the Munich science area; including the Research Center TranslaTUM and the Helmholtz Pioneer Campus, which integrate bioengineering with oncology and metabolic disorders, respectively. Our scientists develop next-generation imaging and sensing solutions to measure previously inaccessible properties of living systems, catalyzing breakthroughs in biology, medicine, and the environment. Comprising 11 interdisciplinary laboratories and scientists from more than 25 countries, we offer state-of-the-art infrastructure for innovative research and a perfect environment to accelerate your career. Our research aims to shift the paradigm of biological discovery and healthcare impact and address the major health challenges of our time by developing the medical solutions of tomorrow. We have pioneered multi-spectral #optoacoustic tomography (MSOT) from scratch to successful commercialization and are now actively driving the clinical translation of optoacoustic and optical technologies towards disease prevention, early diagnosis and intra-operative settings. In addition, we develop advanced #fluorescence imaging methods for pre-clinical and clinical imaging, leading to the first clinical translation of a targeted fluorescent agent for optical molecular imaging of patients in 2011.
