Centro de Excelência
University of Basel - Department of Biomedicine (DBM)
The DBM Center of Excellence for Translational Research is the result of a long-lasting partnership between Nikon and the Department of Biomedicine (DBM). The two directors, Mike Abanto and Pascal Lorentz, developed the unit from scratch into an excellent microscopy core facility within the last 15 years. Together with their team of experts, they support researchers in the fields of oncology, immunology, neurobiology, stem cells, and regenerative medicine.
The Department of Biomedicine (DBM) is part of the medical faculty of the University of Basel and unites biomedical research. The DBM is a joint venture of the University of Basel, the University Hospital Basel, and the University Children’s Hospital beider Basel. At the DBM, clinicians and researchers work side-by-side creating excellent bench-to-bedside research opportunities that contribute to its translational reputation internationally.
The DBM Nikon Center of Excellence not only offers a variety of cutting-edge microscopes and has excellent staff, but they are also leaders in automation using Nikon’s programming interface, called JOBS.
With their equipment, which ranges from 2-Photon, super-resolution, confocal to wide-field microscopy, and their skills, the facility provides optimal conditions to foster competitive research.
