08 August 2019 | Self-assembling nanoparticles mark cells in electron microscopy.

08 August 2019 | The scGen computer model, developed by scientists at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) and Helmholtz Zentrum München, predicts how cells will behave. The software uses artificial intelligence to model the response of a cell to a disease or treatment – with no need for experimental data from pertubed human cells.

In the Munich Business Plan Competition, the third prize went to the company Orbem, a start-up founded at the Munich School of BioEngineering. Orbem has developed a method for identifying the sex of poultry embryos still in the egg. The first and second spots were also claimed by start-ups incubated at the Technical University of Munich (TUM).

01 July 2019 | A drug with three active ingredients that are released in sequence at specific times: Thanks to the work of a team at the Technical University of Munich (TUM), what was once a pharmacologist's dream is now much closer to reality. With a combination of hydrogels and artificial DNA, nanoparticles can be released in sequence under conditions similar to those in the human body.

One of the world's highest performance NMR spectrometers for biomedical research will be at the heart of the newly opened Bavarian Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Center of the Technical University of Munich (TUM).

Microelectrodes can be used for direct measurement of electrical signals in the brain or heart. These applications require soft materials, however. With existing methods, attaching electrodes to such materials poses significant challenges. A team at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) has now succeeded in printing electrodes directly onto several soft substrates.
