iFIT Lunch & Learn with Mathias Heikenwälder and Niklas Vesper

🤩Looking forward to our next iFIT Lunch & Learn Joint Session - this time on Monday instead of the usual Wednesday: 

We have the pleasure to welcome 👨‍🔬Mathias Heikenwälder, Hospital of the university of Tübingen, M3 Research Center and German Cancer Research Center DKFZ Heidelberg and 👨‍🔬 Niklas Vesper, Universitätsklinikum Freiburg.

🔬This talk provides an introduction to the concepts of synthetic receptor engineering and explores how the modular design of synthetic receptors can be leveraged to address questions in biomedical research.

Additionally, it highlights key challenges in multiplex tissue analysis, with a focus on limitations in cell segmentation and the spatial overlap of cells caused by the three dimensional architecture of tissue. 

🏥Data provided set the basis for an in vivo screening – to corroborate the data and identify a novel mechanism in liver cancer therapy.

🗨️Join us for what promises to be an interesting joint presentation and a great discussion.
