Animal testing often remains indispensable in biomedical research - yet at the same time, methods using human tissue are opening up new possibilities.
How are new therapies for cancer, heart failure, or organ failure developed? And how are researchers today able to specifically reprogram cells, regenerate tissue, or activate the immune system against tumors? Animal testing remains indispensable in many areas of biomedical research - yet at the same time, increasingly innovative methods based on human tissue are emerging, opening up new perspectives for medicine.
Three leading scientists provide fascinating insights into the medicine of the future - impressively visualized beneath the dome of the planetarium:
Milad Rezvani demonstrates how new liver tissue is formed from stem cells and what role regenerative medicine could play in the future in curing serious diseases. Michael Gotthardt takes the audience inside the beating heart and explains how molecular processes control our heart function and why their interaction determines health and disease. Annette Künkele illustrates how genetically modified immune cells recognize and fight tumors - and what hopes modern immunotherapies hold for cancer treatment. The event was conceived in collaboration of Einstein Center 3R, Charité 3R and the Einstein Foundation.
With impressive projections, scientific precision, and easy-to-understand explanations, “Einstein in the Dome” combines fascinating research questions with an immersive experience for anyone who wants to learn how the medicine of tomorrow is being developed.
