Jobbeschreibung
Department of Optical Nanoscopy
Since its founding in 1987, the Institute for Nanophotonics Goettingen has been a pioneer in the transfer of application-oriented research between science and industry. The activities range from the development of novel laser measurement techniques, product refinement using lasers, the development of new beam sources to applications in the life sciences and medical technology.
Our group uses the light emission of living cells for imaging that is generated by the process of bioluminescence. We apply a fully genetically encodable bioluminescence system to create autonomously glowing cells and improve the brightness of this system in different types of target cells. Besides camera- and microscopy-based bioluminescence imaging methods, the use of newly developed optical fibers will be explored to detect bioluminescence signals in large specimens at greater depths. Different model samples, ranging from embedded cells to a living organism, will be used.
We invite applications for a
