Dr Daniel H. Rapoport

// studied chemistry at TU Berlin from 1990 to 1994

// For his doctoral work, he moved to the Paul Drude Institute for Solid-State Electronics in Berlin

// Following an excursion into the multimedia sector as a sound engineer, he joined the Max Planck Institute for Colloids and Interfaces in Potsdam as a postdoc from 2004 to 2006

// Following this, he was then able to contribute his extensive chemical and physical expertise to the Lübeck Fraunhofer Working Group for Cell Differentiation and Cell Technology at the Fraunhofer Institute for Biomedical Technology (IBMT)

// When this was spun off as the Fraunhofer Research Institution for Marine Biotechnology (EMB) in 2008, he accepted the position of Head of the Working Group for Cell Technology

// At EMB, he develops technologies for cell isolation, handling and propagation, and has established image-based cytometry as a cell tracking method

Image-based cytometry – a technology conquers cell culture

Star charts and Petri dishes - von Dr Daniel H. Rapoport, Dr Tim Becker

Cell cultivation has now become an indispensable part of scientific investigation and applications within medicine. From a simple substance test to the autologous cell therapies of the future, cell technologies are based on the controlled propagation of cells. An important step towards this goal is the non-invasive characterisation of the cell population grown. New methods in image-based cytometry offer an ideal platform technology for this purpose.
