Decision and Awareness

Mikroskopische Aufnahme einer Gewebeprobe, die mit Immunfluoreszenz eingefärbt wurde. Verschiedene Zelltypen und Strukturen leuchten in lebhaften Farben, darunter Rosa, Grün und Blautöne, die durch die Fluoreszenzmarkierung hervorgehoben werden. Die Zellen sind dicht gepackt und bilden schichtartige Strukturen, die sich um eine zentrale, bogenförmige Region anordnen. Der dunkle Hintergrund hebt die fluoreszierenden Bereiche des Gewebes besonders hervor, wodurch Kontraste stark betont werden. Nesil Eșiyok

We make our expertise in the areas of husbandry, breeding and experimental use of primates as well as animal welfare and science communication available to partners, contribute it to collaborations and continuously develop it further. We advise scientific institutions, organize training courses and provide samples, animals and infrastructure for collaborations both in Göttingen and at our field stations.
