This November, the Museum für Naturkunde Berlin once again invites you to the Digital Science Communication Cafe. This month in German. Get ready to get exciting insights from our scientist into their work while drinking coffee in front of the screens in a relaxed atmosphere. Everyone is invited to ask questions and contribute to the conversation.
This time we have invited PhD student Alexander Fiedler. He is doing his research at the Freie Universität Berlin and the Deutsches Rheuma-Forschungszentrum Berlin in the field of biophysical analysis. Our immune system is not only a protective shield against bacteria, viruses and parasites, but also an important player in the body's own healing process. To investigate the role of immune cells in bone healing (e.g. after a fracture), Alexander takes a look at the bones of living individuals. Bone healing requires complex interactions between bone-forming cells, immune cells and blood vessels. For a successful healing process it is important that the underlying cellular processes happen at the right place but also at the right time.
How Alexander and his research group have developed a novel combination of microscope and endoscope with which he can observe live how blood vessels sprout, tissue is formed and rebuilt until the bone is completely restored, he explains this time at our Digital Science Communication Cafe! Bring along a lot of questions and a thirst for coffee!
