Dossier - 29/03/2009 Options for the food industry Biotechnology has since found its way into the food industry and in fact into the entire value creation chain from raw material production to food processing to the sale of the final product. There are many ways in which biotechnology can contribute to better food products. These include the use of enzymes and microorganisms as well as in the production of food supplements and to improve analytic tests.https://www.gesundheitsindustrie-bw.de/en/article/dossier/options-for-the-food-industry
Article - 12/03/2009 Chronic inflammatory intestinal diseases – the search for greater tolerance Intestinal flora plays a key role in the development of Crohns disease or ulcerative colitis. Dr. Julia-Stefanie Frick a microbiologist from Tübingen is investigating why some of these usually harmless bacteria suddenly lead to severe inflammation. Her research which has recently been awarded a research prize might now pave the way to preventive therapy.https://www.gesundheitsindustrie-bw.de/en/article/news/chronic-inflammatory-intestinal-diseases-the-search-for-greater-tolerance
Article - 09/02/2009 Bodo Philipp – the discovery of the general principles of bacterial interaction Dr. Bodo Philipp from the University of Constance specifically focuses on ecologically relevant activities of bacteria for example cell-cell interactions. His findings could prove effective in removing bacteria from areas where high levels of hygiene are required thereby making it possible to prevent life-threatening bacterial infectious diseases. Dr. Bodo Philipp uses the much feared Pseudomonas aeruginosa bacteria as model organisms for his…https://www.gesundheitsindustrie-bw.de/en/article/news/bodo-philipp-the-discovery-of-the-general-principles-of-bacterial-interaction
Press release - 08/01/2009 ILM – Organisational structure and competences In analogy to its thematic development, the ILM organisational structure previously consisted of (1) Medicine, (2) Metrology and (3) Dental Technology (DTZ) divisions. The respective areas were each managed by one individual. In line with thematic requirements, different core competences have developed over time in these areas: microscopy and biology in medicine, photothermics in metrology, tissue optics and device development in dental…https://www.gesundheitsindustrie-bw.de/en/article/press-release/ilm-organisational-structure-and-competences
