The Leibniz Center for Photonics in Infection Research (LPI) will be established as a translation center in Jena, with the aim of bringing light-based innovations from research into medical application. A joint delegation of the Federal Ministry of Research, Technology and Space (BMFTR) and the Thuringian Ministry of Education, Science and Culture (TMBWK), led by the state secretaries Dr. Rolf-Dieter Jungk and Prof. Dr. Steffen Teichert, visted the LPI in Jena on February 16. Alongside the newest developments and strategies of the LPI, the meeting addressed the LPI's perspectives and the High-Tech Agenda Germany.
Head of section Mr. Beyer, head of the Key technologies at the BMFTR, visited the LPI in Jena in November and gained up close insights and demonstrations for selected LPI basic technologies. The LPI gGmbH and representatives of the partner institutions illustrated the progresses and emphasized the need of the LPI infrastructure in Jena.
The LPI was represented at this year's MEDICA in Dusseldorf. At the joint booth of the Free State of Thuringia organized by the LEG Thüringen, the LPI made an appearance as as translational center for photonic innovations.
Around 100 researchers of our partner institutions discussed current advances in imaging diagnostics, biological models and computational analytics.
At the DGHM 2025 in Jena scientists of the executing institutions represented the LPI with multiple poster contributions.
