1st Meeting of the Core Facility We are honoured that this meeting is included in the events to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the foundation of the Medical Faculty Mannheim. About the Core Facility The core facility LIMA was founded in 2011 with the goal of giving researchers and clinicians access to a powerful and innovative bio-imaging tool for the study of biological processes in action. The core facility LIMA provides dynamic imaging equipment i.e. state of the art laser scanning microscopes along with technical expertise and is currently collaborating on studies that include angiogenesis, tumour metastasis, cardiovascular physiology, cellular signalling, nociception of acute and chronic pain as well as neuronal polarity. Venue The meeting will be held at the auditorium of the Medical Faculty Mannheim, Hörsaal H02, Alte Brauerei, Röntgenstr. 7, 68169 Mannheim on the 7th of November 2014, starting at 9 o’clock with the welcoming address of the Dean. 7. November 2014 The campus is easily accessible by public transport.

Gorbey “Welcome address” by the Dean of University of Heidelberg, Prof. Dr. r Introduction by the Director of the C Neurobiology Bio-imaging tools hold enormous potential for a wide variety of diagnostics and therapeutic applications and the core facility is very proud to have established a fruitful interaction with clinicians of the Medical Faculty. Since 2014 the core facility is a member of the DGF research infrastructure portal “RIsources”, which gives researchers in Germany the possibility to use the service. Stem cells by Karen Bieback The mission of the core facility is to train and teach researchers and clinicians interested in studying biological processes in living cells or organisms. In addition the core facility also develops and refines new methods and applications, which are made available to the members of the CBTM and researchers of the Medical Faculty Mannheim. 9.15 – 9.30 Julia Bucher, CBTM, Core Facility L The Core Facility „LIMA - Live Ce Who we are and what we do 9.30 – 10.00 Hans-Ulrich Dodt, Technical Univer Ultramicroscopy of cleared mous 10.00 – 10.15 Matthias Carl, CBTM, Boutros grou Following axons in the asymmet 10.15 – 10.45 Reinhard Köster, Technical Univers Probing cerebellar function with 10.45 – 11.15 Coffee Break (catering at the Old B Vascular Biology I 11.15 – 11.45 Arndt Siekmann, Max-Planck-Institu Illuminating blood vessel formati 11.45 – 12.00 Andreas Fischer, CBTM and DKFZ Multiple PDZ domain protein con 12.00 – 12.30 Hellmut Augustin, CBTM and DKFZ Imaging technology to observe the natural course of biology in action, within living organisms.
