Nora defended her thesis "summa cum laude". She presented her results on labelling of primary human hepatocytes with micron-sized iron oxide particles in suspension culture suitable for large-scale preparation. In German her thesis is entitled „Markierung primärer humaner Hepatozyten mit mikroskaligen Eisenoxidpartikeln in temporärer Suspensionskultur“.
Kirsten defended her thesis „magna cum laude“. Her work is entitled „Evaluation der Applikationsrouten für die Leberzelltransplantation im Großtiermodell“
Congratulations!

Nathanael Raschzok defended thesis "summa cum laude"
25 April 2009 - 23:22
Transplantation of primary human hepatocytes is a promising approach in certain liver diseases. For visualisation of hepatocytes during and following cell application and the ability of a timely response to potential complications, a non-invasive modality for imaging of the transplanted cells has to be established. The aim of his studies was to label primary human hepatocytes with micron-sized iron oxide particles (MPIOs), enabling the detection of cells by clinical magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The feasibility of preparing MPIO-labelled primary human hepatocytes detectable by clinical MR equipment was shown in vitro. MPIO-labelled cells could serve for basic research and quality control in the clinical setting of human hepatocyte transplantation.
He also investigated techniques for evaluation of the particle uptake via continuum source atomic absorption spectrometry (CSAAS). Porcine liver cells were labelled with MPIOs and the iron concentration of the cell samples was investigated by a CSAAS spectrometer equipped with a Perkin-Elmer THGA graphite furnace. CSAAS enabled rapid quantification of particle load from small quantities of cells without extensive preparation steps. CSAAS could be used for quality control in a clinical setting of cell transplantation.
Thank you for coming and bringing such good cheer !

Dr. rer. medic. Gesine Pless
01 February 2007 - 20:42
Gesine Pless took another major step in her career by defending her doctoral thesis "magna cum laude". Being (co-)author of more than 16 papers in peer reviewed journals she analysed primary human liver cells from donor organs unsuitable for transplantation cultivated in bioreactors. As each system contains cells originating from an individual organ, each bioreactor culture must be individually characterized. The objective of her study was to identify suitable decisive parameters for the evaluation of cell culture performance.

In antiquity, the body's internal structure was the subject of speculation, fantasy, and some study, but there were few efforts to represent it in pictures. The invention of the printing press in the 15th century-and the cascade of print technologies that followed-helped to inspire a new spectacular science of anatomy, and new spectacular visions of the body. Anatomical imagery proliferated, detailed and informative but also whimsical, surreal, beautiful, and grotesque — a dream anatomy that reveals as much about the outer world as it does the inner self.

Kahn’s modernist visualization of the digestive and respiratory system as "industrial palace," really a chemical plant, was conceived in a period when the German chemical industry was the world’s most advanced.
