At , we’re pushing the boundaries of care.

🚀 We’re advancing data-driven diabetes research by combining and with multi-omics data and AI to uncover the molecular and physiological mechanisms underlying the disease.

👉 focuses on multivariate, long-term tracking of diabetes progression by capturing a spectrum of biomarkers related to tissue metabolism, oxygenation, and microvascular health.
👉 pioneers non-invasive glucose monitoring, using in-vivo optoacoustic sensing to measure blood glucose dynamics directly and pain-free.
👉 combines optoacoustic imaging phenotypes with multi-omics data (genomics, proteomics, metabolomics) and AI to build a digital-twin model for early detection, prevention and treatment of type 2 diabetes.

𝐍𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐞𝐬 - the electrical cables of our body.
Thanks to them, we can move our muscles and perceive the world around us.

But have you ever wondered 𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐲 𝐥𝐨𝐨𝐤 𝐥𝐢𝐤𝐞?
Or better yet — 𝐡𝐨𝐰 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐲 𝐬𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝 𝐰𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐮𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭?

In our lab, we are using 𝐨𝐩𝐭𝐨𝐚𝐜𝐨𝐮𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐜 𝐢𝐦𝐚𝐠𝐢𝐧𝐠 to explore exactly that.
This 𝐧𝐨𝐧-𝐢𝐧𝐯𝐚𝐬𝐢𝐯𝐞 and 𝐩𝐚𝐢𝐧-𝐟𝐫𝐞𝐞 technology combines light and sound to visualize nerves in ways never seen (or heard!) before.

We are currently looking for 𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐭𝐡𝐲 𝐯𝐨𝐥𝐮𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐞𝐫𝐬 to join our clinical study at 𝐊𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐢𝐤𝐮𝐦 𝐑𝐞𝐜𝐡𝐭𝐬 𝐝𝐞𝐫 𝐈𝐬𝐚𝐫 (Munich, Germany) and help us advance the future of nerve imaging.

Do you want to be part of our study or are you curious to learn more?
Do not hesitate to reach out to us at 𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐞.𝐦𝐬𝐨𝐭.𝐜𝐛𝐢@𝐦𝐡.𝐭𝐮𝐦.𝐝𝐞.
We will be happy to provide you with more details and, if you are interested, schedule an appointment at a time that best suits you!

Looking forward to seeing you!

👉 Following on our series of events, from October 10th - 12th, the MunichImaging team was part of the Helmholtz Munich booth at the Münchner Wissenschaftstage .

👩‍👩‍👦 The event took place at the Forum Schwanthalerhöhe and atracted thousands of people over the 3 days - specially children and families.

👨‍🔬 Representing the , we prepared a lot of fun activities for our visitors: a cool Twister game, demonstrations of and , the opportunity to be a scientist for a few moments, and even to write a secret letter with magic UV-pens! ✨

It was also an amazing opportunity to showcase our EU-funded projects, present main results to the public, and discuss the current challenges in healthcare.

This was our third consecutive participation at the event, and we're looking forward for the 2026 edition! 🚀
