The scientific community is abuzz with excitement as we approach the IMEKO 2024 conference in Hamburg, where we will have the honor of welcoming Professor Stefan Hell, a Nobel Prize laureate and a trailblazer in the field of super-resolved fluorescence microscopy. This event promises to be a highlight for researchers and professionals dedicated to the advancement of scientific knowledge and innovation.
Meet Professor Stefan Hell
Professor Stefan Hell, one of the esteemed directors at the Max Planck Institute for Biophysical Chemistry in Göttingen, Germany, has made indelible contributions to the field of microscopy. In 2014, he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry alongside Eric Betzig and William Moerner for their groundbreaking work that overcame the diffraction limit in fluorescence microscopy. Their pioneering research has enabled unprecedented resolution in observing the intricate structures and dynamics of molecules within cells.
A Pioneering Visionary in Microscopy
Professor Hell's keynote address, titled "Molecule-scale resolution and dynamics in fluorescence microscopy," will delve into the transformative advancements in microscopy techniques, particularly focusing on the revolutionary MINFLUX technology. This cutting-edge technique has achieved a resolution of 1–3 nanometers, a feat that allows scientists to explore the very heart of cellular processes with remarkable clarity.
MINFLUX, along with the innovative MINSTED concept, has significantly advanced our ability to study biological specimens. These technologies use fewer fluorescence photons, making it possible to observe dynamic processes at the single-protein level. This level of detail is exemplified in studies of motor proteins like kinesin-1, where researchers can track their movements down to sub-nanometer precision at physiological ATP concentrations.
