In Biophotonics we harness light for molecular insights

For the International Day of Light, we are showcasing how we use Raman spectroscopy to make the invisible visible and advance this technique to enable precise and personalized therapies in real time.

Young female scientist as career role models

April 23rd was Girls' Day. Five young students between the age of 13 and 15 had the opportunity to visit the Biophotonics and Integrated Micro-Nano Systems laboratories at the Technical University of Darmstadt and exchange thoughts with young female researchers.

Interview with Professor Torsten Frosch of TU Darmstadt, coordinator of the LOEWE “MultiDrug-TDM” research cluster

A novel intelligent sensor system that significantly improves cancer treatment for paediatric patients: Researchers from TU Darmstadt and Goethe University Frankfurt have been working on this interdisciplinary innovation since the start of the year as part of the “MultiDrug-TDM” project. Coordinator Professor Torsten Frosch from TU Darmstadt provides an insight into the research project.

A degree programme offered by the strategic alliance of Rhine-Main Universities (RMU)

Engineering meets medicine: Nearly seven years ago, the joint Medizintechnik (Medical Technology) degree programme, offered by TU Darmstadt and Goethe University Frankfurt, was launched. Since then, 132 students have successfully completed the programme. A five-part series now shines a spotlight on this unique academic offering, the only one of its kind in the state of Hesse and part of the strategic alliance of the Rhine-Main Universities (RMU). The series begins with a video that provides a comprehensive overview of the field of medical technology.

Intelligent Raman spectroscopy for personalized medicine in Pediatric Oncology

Project leaders from all disciplines gathered to initiate their joint research endeavor and lay the groundwork for their future collaboration.

Women in Biophotonics

At the Institute of Biophotonics at TU Darmstadt, women make a decisive contribution to scientific progress. Our international team currently includes five female doctoral researchers.

Prof. Frosch presents LOEWE focus area MultiDrug-TDM to the ProLOEWE Executive Board

On November 10th, the ProLOEWE Executive Board meeting took place, which was welcomed by Minister of State Timon Gremmels at the Hessian Ministry of Science and Research, Art, and Culture (HMWK). Prof. Frosch presented our new LOEWE focus area MultiDrug-TDM.

MultiDrug-TDM: New LOEWE research cluster for medical technology

The new LOEWE research cluster ‘MultiDrug-TDM’, coordinated by TU Darmstadt, will receive 4.3 million euros state funding for four years, starting in January. The goal is to research a novel, intelligent sensor system to significantly improve paediatric cancer care. By measuring drug levels directly at the bedside, immediate adjustments and thus optimised personalized therapy will be possible.
