URL: www.izbi.uni-leipzig.de
Profile of the institute:
The IZBI is a central facility of the University Leipzig funded
mainly by third party projects. It brings together different
scientists with background in biology, computer science,
biology, physics and biotechnology who pursue projects in
Systems Biology, Bioinformatics and Computational Biology
related to cell biology, evolution and medicine.
Work / Research topics:
The IZBI focuses on evolution and genomic regulation in different systems and species,
OMIC realms (e.g. genome, transcriptome, ‘epigenome’ etc) with the special focus on
dysfunction caused by diseases. We develop and apply bioinformatics algorithms for
molecular biology (e.g. primary analysis of Microarray and Next Generation Sequencing
data analysis and downstream data mining tasks), perform theoretical modeling of
biological processes (e.g. cell differentiation, organogenesis and gene regulation).
Our projects deal with objectives ranging from civilization diseases and the effect
of different environmental factors to molecular mechanisms of genomic regulation
involving transcription factors, noncoding RNA and epigenetics. Our interests also
focus on genomic and environmental factors shaping civilization diseases. Here we
aim at contributing to personalized medicine (diagnosis and therapy) by portraying
molecular „faces“ with individual resolution.
Cooperation proposals:
We offer analysis and mining methods for molecular high throughput data in the
context of systems medicine. Cooperations might be directed to the exchange of data
and methods from each side, joint analyses and/or modeling approaches related to
our research focus and/or might involve the exchange of scientists and students.

own assays and are also sold individually.
As a Point-of- Care device, our platform „FastCheckPOC“ that work with small volumes
of whole capillary blood or heparin blood and comes as complete kits with no need
for further equipment or components. The test results can easily be read-off from the
patent-protected display after only 30 minutes by the naked eye.
Simplified handling and decreased overall processing time are the main advantges of
the Liquid Allergen System (LAS) over cellulose disk-based EAST in laboratory allergy
testing. The system is offered in a variety of plate layouts for quantitative determination
of specific IgE and IgG4. DST produces the majority of its allergen extracts in-house.
Quality control of these extracts is a very important focus of DST.
DST is ISO certified with EU DIN ISO 9001:2008 and EN DIN ISO 13485:2003+AC 2009.

Profile of the institute:
UNECE has been directing a major cross-sectoral umbrella
project for enterprises in the biomass sector in the region.
One of the central tasks of climate change mitigation is to
replace fossil fuels with renewable energy such as biomass.
The project aims to strengthen the local use of biomass for
heat and electricity production as well as sustainable biomass
supply from selected countries in the UNECE region to energy
producers in the region.
Work / Research topics:
The focus of our activities is on the development of Regional Biomass Action Plans
(RBAP) in Russia. RBAPs coordinate the development of the regional biomass sector.
Furthermore, the RBAP integrates the interests of the forestry and woodworking,
agricultural, electricity and municipal heating, waste and recycling sectors. RBAPs differ
per region (and in time), as do the availability of resources and the socio-economic
characteristics of regions. At present, the project focuses on the modernisation of
the Russian energy sector and on stimulating companies to introduce the production
of innovative products with high added value. Through the development of RBAPs
regional governments can develop a level playing field and governance that encourages
companies to invest in the biomass sector. The cooperation between the government
and private sector on the implementation of RBAPs can result in the development
of branch organisations and cooperatives, and prevents excessive competition on
resources and emerging markets.
Cooperation proposals:
• UNECE welcomes cooperation in the development of RBAPs, in particular in the
following areas: Assisting regional governments with the development of RBAPs;
• Improving cooperation between regional governments on the use of biomass;
• Addressing regionally gained experience and results at the federal level, in order
to contribute to the development of legislation, regulation, and standardisation

as a spin-out of University of Bremen. SCiLS is a research and
development orientated company, by now grown to a team
of 11 members of staff from biology, chemistry, statistics,
mathematics, and computer science.
Work / Research topics:
Tomographic methodologies (CT, MR, PET, SPECT, PET-MR) rely on specific tracer
substances for retrieving at best a partial information of the metabolism. In contrast,
the full metabolic information is contained in the mass spectrum obtained by mass
spectrometry (MS) experiments. However, the classical MS spectrum obtained from
a single tissue sample allows no spatial discrimination. To go beyond these limits a
new strategic concept aims at the development of a 3D MALDI-MS technology. MR
spectroscopy (MRS) as well as MALDI imaging as a mass spectrometry (MS) imaging
technique are imaging modalities, which involve the characterization of tissue in terms
of the molecular species. The combination of both imaging techniques may lead to
superior results for diagnosis and understanding of pathologies in the human body.
Cooperation proposals:
The range of SCiLS’ services is to perform MALDI-imaging mass spectrometry
measurements and statistical analysis of MALDI-imaging data. For external data
analysis the software SCiLS Lab is offered, a software suit for visualization and data
mining of MALDI-Imaging data.
A pipeline for acquisition and analysis of 3D MALDI imaging mass spectrometry (3D
MALDI-IMS) is established at the Analytical Services (AS) section of SCiLS.
SCiLS provides software (SCiLS Lab) for creation and visualization of 3D MALDI-IMS
data, adapts data format, develops and implements statistical methods.
SCiLS has great interest in joined cooperation‘s to develop new tools for Healthcare

this network with those reconstructed by using randomly chosen sets of genes. Genes
presented in the reconstructed network can be considered as potential participants of
the biological process under study.

Work / Research topics:
Nonstationary spectrometers of the THz range and employs them for various
applications and investigations. The advantages of the devices include high sensitivity,
high spectral resolution, online measurements and easy-to-use configuration. To
provide above characteristics we also design and elaborate suitable radiation sources
and receivers.
Generation of THz radiation with using the subTHz synthesizers based on e.g.
backward wave oscillator (BWO) (OV-76, 118-178 GHz) or gunn generator (97.5-117.0
GHz) with phase-lock loop (PLL) of reference generator and frequency multipliers
on nanostructures – quantum semiconductor superlattices (QSS). The application
of harmonic mixers based on QSS allows essentially simplifying a THz synthesizer’s
scheme and improving reliability and stability of the BWO operation in synchronization
mode for all generation range (up to 1.25 THz).
The subTHz spectrometer based on the phase-switching of the BWO’s radiation on
the gas and also time-domain and the spectrometer of 1-2.5 THz frequency range
(with registration of a signal in time area) based on solid-state radiation sources were
developed and realized.
Cooperation proposals:
The devices developed and realized in IPM RAS are intended for clinics, hospitals,
medicinebiological institutes and also physician institutes and universities.

(University of Bielefeld)
•
Clinical Research
(Laser-Research Laboratory, University of Munich)
•
Life Sciences & Health Economy
(BioCon Valley® GmbH)
•
