Welcome to the homepage of the Heilemann Group!

Gruppe2022

We develop imaging and image analysis tools for cell biology.

Our aim is to visualise the structural organisation of biomolecules in situ and in their cellular environment. For this purpose, we develop and apply super-resolution microscopy techniques, fluorescence labelling methods and image analysis tools.
