Shanghai – a city that never sleeps | 25.03.2013 | News and Views
Yuyuan Garden
Between September 2012 to February 2013, I spent six months of practical training in Prof. Weihong Jiang’s group at the Shanghai Institute for Biological Sciences of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. A grant from the Baden-Württemberg Ministry of Science, Research and the Arts enabled me not only to gain valuable practical experience, but also gave me an in-depth view into Chinese culture and life in Shanghai.

How can light be used to control the behaviour of neurons? | 25.02.2013 | Science
The figure shows a neuron whose membrane contains two channel proteins. The proteins can be stimulated with different wavelengths and enable different ions to enter the cell.
The control of the behaviour of individual neurons simply by switching light stimuli on and off sends neuroscientists into raptures as it reveals insights into as yet hidden and complicated processes in the brain. Thanks to optogenetics, this particular science fiction became reality a few years ago. Working with researchers from the Bernstein Center at the University of Freiburg and the Friedrich Miescher Institute for Biomedical Research in Basel, scientists in the teams of Dr. Birthe Rubehn and Prof. Dr. Thomas Stieglitz in the Department of Microsystems Engineering (IMTEK) have developed a multimodal implant which allows the genetic modulation, control and measurement of cell activity.
