Molecular Spatial Analysis

MOSAIC @Essen

MOSAIC combines state-of-the-art technologies for mass spectrometry imaging, spatial and deep visual proteomics, laser microdissection, multiplex imaging, and computational data analysis. By integrating molecular information with spatial tissue context, MOSAIC enables the characterization of cellular and metabolic processes directly within complex tissues in health and disease.

Education

We are strongly committed to the training and supervision of Bachelor, Master, MD, and PhD students and provide hands-on education in modern experimental and computational approaches.

  • Spatial and deep visual proteomics
  • Mass spectrometry and laser microdissection
  • Image analysis and computational data integration
  • AI-assisted analysis of imaging and molecular data
