In this C2W | Mens & Molecule Special Edition we take a deep dive into the world of the Institute for Complex Molecular Systems (ICMS) at Eindhoven University of Technology.
ICMS is a unique breeding ground for collaboration and innovation. Despite their limited budget, ICMS thrives as a lively community of hundreds of researchers and students united by curiosity and purpose. Their secret? According to scientific director Jan van Hest, it’s all about intrinsic motivation, openness, and the power of true multidisciplinarity.
Super Resolution Microscopy opened our eyes to biological processes on scales previously hidden from view. At ICMS, researchers keep pushing the limits of SRM and expanding the technique’s possibilities. For those who think this is just another lab tool, think again. The ICMS infrastructure for research and innovation makes sure it’s finding its way into real life applications.
