How can research be carried out without animal testing? We’ll show you how new research models, no bigger than a fingernail, can replicate complex organs such as the gut, liver and lungs, and how they are used in infection research.
Between the virtual world and real happiness: Put on your VR headset and discover completely new perspectives. Then it’s time to spin the wheel of fortune, test your knowledge and, with a bit of luck, hit the jackpot!
Humans and animals have tiny roommates: microbes. Compare the microbes that live on different people with those found on and inside insects. Among them, you’ll also discover true symbionts that are the focus of our research.
How does taste develop? Fascinating experiments show how smell, sight, and taste work together to shape our perceptions and food choices. Relatable, surprising, and eye-opening—for more mindful eating.
