Z02 | Quantitative imaging and analysis of biofabricate quality and maturation

The new project Z02 will develop and provide standardized methods for acquiring, processing, and evaluating imaging data for the entire TRR/SFB, starting off with selected model systems in project areas B and C. In particular, solutions for sample chambers and (fluorescence) imaging, e.g. customized light-sheet microscopy, as well as image data processing and analysis, tuned for the special demands of biofabricates, will be key. Cross-validation of complementary imaging modalities in the three involved laboratories will allow for establishing robust and versatile approaches for the entire collaborative research center.
