07 October 2019 | A team of researchers led by MSB-PI Werner Hemmert have applied the latest computer modelling techniques to create better cochlear implants (CIs).

Project of TUM's summer program for girls at TUM’s Center for Translational Cancer Research (TranslaTUM).

26 September 2019 | Cellular control proteins, referred to as chaperones, detect immature immune signaling proteins and prevent them from leaving the cell.

The Graduate School of BioEngineering (GSB) summer school brings together doctoral candidates from various departments at the Technical University of Munich (TUM). The scientists work in the fields of medical physics, medical informatics and robotics.

A new master’s program in Biomedical Engineering and Medical Physics at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) will begin in the summer semester 2020. Applications are now open and will be accepted until 30 November 2019. The program is provided by the Munich School of BioEngineering – an interdisciplinary research center at TUM.

Two MSB-PIs – Daniel Cremers and Dimitrios Karampinos – have been awarded prestigious Proof-of-Concept Grants by the European Research Council (ERC).

09 September 2019 | Faszination Forschung – the science magazine of the Technical University of Munich (TUM) – reported on the work at the Bavarian NMR Center (BNMRZ) at TUM. 

04 September 2019 | German public radio (Deutschlandfunk) reported on the work of MSB-PI Vasilis Ntziachristos and his colleagues at the TUM professorship of Biological Imaging and the Institute for Biological and Medical Imaging at the Helmholtz Zentrum München.

27 August 2019 | Researchers at TUM and the Helmholtz Zentrum München have moved a step closer towards developing innovative drug molecules for the treatment of psychiatric diseases. They discovered how inhibitors inactivate a special protein that plays a key role in various diseases. Their approach can be applied to other medically relevant proteins where the development of specific inhibitors has proved difficult up to now. The research effort was led by Michael Sattler, Director of the Institute of Structural Biology at the Helmholtz Zentrum München and Professor of Biomolecular NMR-Spectroscopy at TUM as well as Principal Investigator at the MSB.
