Insight into technology platforms

This year's Day of Technology Platforms will take place on February 26th, 2026, at the Department of Biology in Klein Flottbek at the Institute of Plant Science and Microbiology (IPM, lecture hall E.507 Carl von Linné, Ohnhorststr. 18, 22609 Hamburg).

In the morning, we will give insights into the technologies and services that are available at the UHH Technology Platforms Mass Spectrometry, Electron Microscopy, Light Microscopy, Electron Cryo-Microscopy, NMR Spectroscopy and the CHyN Clean Room. We will show how your research can benefit from the platforms.

Afterwards, platform users will present research highlights and explain how their research is supported by the platforms. In addition, the Core Facility Protein Production and Sample Preparation & Characterisation from CSSB will present themselves.

In the afternoon, we will open the doors and invite you to visit the platforms.

Registration is requested.
