  • Laser light detects tumors: Leibniz IPHT presents compact device for cancer diagnostics

    A team of scientists from Leibniz-IPHT, the University Hospital and the University of Jena researched a new method to detect tumors quickly, gently and reliably with laser light. In the future, the optical method will help surgeons to remove tumors more precisely and could perspectively make cancer operations possible without a scalpel.

  • Federal Minister of Education honours Leibniz IPHT for sepsis research

    On 14 May 2019, Education Minister Anja Karliczek awarded the Dahrendorf Prize for the European Research Area to a team of scientists from Leibniz IPHT and their European partners for a fast-track procedure for diagnosing life-threatening infections. "We must do more to ensure that research reaches patients more quickly," Juergen Popp appealed to politicians at the award ceremony. In Germany and in Europe more suitable structures were needed in order to get the technological solution quickly from the laboratory to the patient's bed, claims Mr. Popp.

  • Raman Spectroscopy: Research on the Tip

    Microscopes let us peer into cells and the biochemical processes inside them. Processes taking place on much smaller scales, e.g. within single molecules, are the research focus of Dr. Marie Richard-Lacroix. The scientist from Leibniz-IPHT and Friedrich-Schiller University Jena examines molecules on the nanometre scale using tip-enhances Raman spectroscopy. For her outstanding research work she was awarded the “Raman Award for the Best Junior Researcher” during the International Conference on Raman spectroscopy (ICORS).

  • “Unique and Revolutionary”

    Jena Concept for Photonics in Infection Research Rated Among the Best by the Scientific Council

    The German Council of Science and Humanities ("Wissenschaftsrat", WR) gave Jena’s Leibniz Center for Photonics in Infection Research (LPI) a very positive evaluation. A user-open center could form in 2018 to research photonic solutions for the diagnosis, monitoring, and experimental treatment of infections and develop functional solutions in collaboration with industrial partners.
