Focus on optogenetics

The Vienna Museum of Science and Technology is launching the latest round of its presentation format "Innovation Corner." In collaboration with the Lower Austrian technology financing company tecnet equity and the technology incubator accent, outstanding projects in the fields of medical technology and life sciences will be showcased. The IMC Krems presents its research findings in the current exhibition.
For more than five years, Christoph Wiesner’s research group has been focussing on optogenetics, an up-and-coming field of research that deals with the targeted control of cells by light. The research at IMC Krems provides the basis for new and targeted therapeutic approaches, particularly in the fight against chronic inflammation and cancer.

As part of the current "Innovation Corner" exhibition at the Vienna Museum of Science and Technology, the research of IMC Krems is also being showcased. Pictured are Christoph Wiesner, Anna Stierschneider, Martin Waiguny, and Klaus Kotek (from left to right).
