Drive groundbreaking research in biomedical technologies and the future of materials-based healthcare solutions.
In its November meeting, the Senate of the Leibniz Association decided to support Dr. Nadezda Tarakina through the Leibniz Professorinnenprogramm (Female Professorship Program). This program aims to attract outstanding female scientists to the Leibniz Association and support excellent female researchers already working at Leibniz Institutes. The application was supported by the INM – Leibniz Institute […]
Episode 8: Futuristic, living contact lenses In this episode, we sit down with Lara Teruel, a PhD student breaking new ground in contact lens technology. Lara shares her journey into developing a futuristic living contact lens that could revolutionize eye-care in the future. To illustrate this potential breakthrough, we start the episode with a skit […]
On November 1, the EU-funded doctoral network ‘ComeInCell’ (Condensates at Membrane Scaffolds – Integrated Systems as Synthetic Cell Compartments) was launched, which supports early-career researchers in biomedicine and biotechnology. From INM, Dr. Oskar Staufer, head of the Immuno-Materials research group at INM, is involved in the project. Together with a doctoral student, he will conduct […]
Gerardo Asensio Martín and Oskar Staufer participated in the competitive selection process of the innovate! Academy for applied research, supported by the Joachim Herz Foundation. The two INM scientists are among seven awardees who convinced the jury with their scientific excellence and the transfer potential of their research projects. Since October 1, 2024, they have […]
INM recently organized a Career Day to help PhD students and postdoctoral researchers plan their future careers. The event various speakers from academia, industry, and science management, offering insights into various professional options. Participants engaged in lively discussions, gaining practical advice and personal anecdotes from professionals at different stages of their careers. During breaks, attendees took the opportunity […]
INM – Leibniz Institute for New Materials recently organized a series of workshops aimed at revising and improving our technology transfer strategy. These workshops served to create a deeper understanding of the technology transfer process and our mission to further drive impactful and sustainable innovation through materials science. The two-day workshops were attended by INM […]
Good news for biomedical research in Saarland: The Leibniz ScienceCampus (LSC) “Living Therapeutic Materials” is entering its second funding phase after four years of successful research. The Leibniz Institute for New Materials (INM), Saarland University (UdS), and the Helmholtz Institute for Pharmaceutical Research Saarland (HIPS) are starting the next phase of the Leibniz ScienceCampus on […]
From Velcro to solar cells, many technological innovations have been inspired by nature. In medical diagnostics, researchers also draw inspiration from biological principles. A research team from the University of Freiburg and the INM – Leibniz Institute for New Materials in Saarbrücken has developed testing methods in which simple LEDs could replace complex mechanical pumps.
