Christoph Cremer PhD

Christoph Cremer is a German physicist and emeritus at the Ruprecht-Karls-University Heidelberg, honorary professor at the University of Mainz, and was a former group leader at the Institute of Molecular Biology (IMB) at the Johannes Gutenberg University of Mainz, Germany, who has successfully overcome the conventional limit of resolution that applies to light-based investigations by a range of different methods. His actual microscope Vertico-SMI is the world's fastest nano light microscope that allows large-scale investigation of supramolecular complexes including living cell conditions. This nanoscope has therefore the potential to add substantially to the current revolution in optical imaging which will affect the entire molecular biology, medical and pharmaceutical research. The technology allows the development of new strategies for the prevention, lowering of risk, and therapeutic treatment of diseases.
