Collaborative Visit to Uni Regensburg: Advancing a 3D In Vivo Testbed
Maximilian Schäfer, Fardad Vakilipoor, Bastian Heinlein, and Timo Jakumeit recently visited the lab of Silke Harteis at the University of Regensburg. This visit is part of an ongoing collaboration on an in vivo 3D testbed for molecular communication using the Chorioallantoic Membrane Model. They explored the state-of-the-art facilities, featuring devices for ultra-fine scans of vasculature and tracking of fluorescent signaling molecules. During the visit, they conducted test injections of Indocyanine Green, a fluorescent signaling molecule, into eggs with vascularized embryos to track the signal propagation inside the vasculature. Additionally, the team engaged in discussions on the future development of the testbed and had the chance to hear about related projects presented by other partners at the University of Regensburg.
