Research:

• Synchrotron-based research on the short-range structure, oxidation state and bonding of actinides, using the following methods:
• EXAFS: Extended X-ray absorption fine-structure spectroscopy to determine the short-range structure of a target element, i.e. the elemental identity, number and radial distance of atoms in its coordination shell and beyond (typically to …

The main research focus of the Department of Neuroradiopharmaceuticals is the development and evaluation of radiolabelled ligands (radiotracers) in order to investigate brain functions in living organism. The application of the radiotracers provides images of transport, metabolic and neurotransmission processes on the molecular level. The method used in humans to …

The department's research is addressing multiple aspects of the image data acquisition and processing chain, including, among others, image reconstruction, motion correction, modeling of transport and metabolic processes, quantification of tumor shape irregularities, and statistical analysis. More detailed information regarding currently pursued projects can be found in the links below.

Our efforts focus on biochemistry, biology, imaging, and therapy (theranostics) of malignant solid tumors and metastases, with emphasis placed on melanoma, pheochromocytoma, pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma, hepatocellular carcinoma and multiple myeloma. The discovery and functional characterization of tumor-specific membrane and intracellular proteins, and subset parameters of tumor microenvironment in vitro and …

The department belongs to UFZ and is located in Halle.

The department of translational TME Ligands focusses on the development of radiotracers targeting receptors within the tumor microenvironment (TME) for imaging and therapy. The cellular and molecular components of the TME represent interesting targets for cancer therapy. In addition, they can serve as imaging biomarkers for the early detection of …

The mission of the Div. Computer Assisted Medical Interventions is to improve the quality of interventional healthcare in a data-driven manner. To this end, our multidisciplinary group builds upon principles and knowledge from a diversity of research fields including artificial intelligence (AI), statistics, computer vision, biophotonics and medicine. Committed to …

Research in our Division is dedicated on improvements of radiotherapy techniques using photons and ion beams. In the ongoing projects we focus on the adaption of the treatment to dynamic changes of target volumes and organs at risk under therapy, due to therapeutic response, organ motion or patient setup. Image-guided …

The electron microscopy & spectroscopy lab is running a variety of electron microscopy characterization and structuring tools for application in electron microscopy and develops specialized methods/applications to answer specific materials questions.

The Division Experimental Thermal Fluid Dynamics conducts experimental analyses of multiphase flows with heat and mass transfer. We contribute to an improved
