ANA
Uses conventional and cryo-electron microscopy (CEMOVIS), including x-ray computed tomography, to investigate cellular ultrastructure and the molecular architecture of biological systems at near-native resolution.
All microscopes and instruments from ANA on openiris.io
Publications of ANA supported by the MIC on BORIS.
ICB/IZB
Investigates the molecular mechanisms governing cellular life, from host–pathogen interactions and organelle biogenesis to epigenetic regulation, systems biology and development.
All microscopes and instruments from ICB/IZB on openiris.io
Publications of ICB supported by the MIC on BORIS.
IMC at DBMR
Maps dozens of protein markers simultaneously at subcellular resolution to characterise cell populations, their interactions and spatial organisation within complex tissues, complemented by mass cytometry of individual cells.
All microscopes and instruments from IMC on openiris.io
- 1 Helios (Mass Cytometer)
- 1 Hyperion (Imaging Mass Cytometer)

LCI at DBRM
Visualises dynamic cellular processes through live-cell time-lapse imaging, fluorescence and confocal microscopy, with complementary histology and imaging of fixed specimens.
