The Cluster of Excellence “Multiscale Bioimaging: from molecular machines to networks of excitable cells (MBExC)” at Georg-August-Universität and University Medical Center Göttingen is investigating the connections between heart and brain diseases using the latest imaging techniques. From April 18 to August 18, 2024, the special exhibition will present techniques that researchers use to “look inside” cells and tissue. Visitors are invited on a journey through the visual worlds of modern microscopy. Films, interactive applications and models produced especially for the exhibition offer a wide range of insights into interdisciplinary research on around 360 square meters.
On loan in the exhibition is the patch clamp apparatus from XLAB, which was used to study individual ion channels in the laboratory of Nobel Prize winner Erwin Neher at the former Max Planck Institute (MPI) for Biophysical Chemistry. Ion channels in the membranes of nerve and muscle cells are central to understanding the function of the heart and brain.
