Description
Center for Molecular Fingerprinting (CMF) is developing cutting-edge femtosecond laser technologies to advance electric-field molecular fingerprinting techniques based on field-resolved infrared spectroscopy. The laser spectrometers developed at CMF will be utilized in large-scale clinical studies to target disease detection (https://www.lasers4life.de/). For that human samples along with clinical information have been collected, to perform high-throughput measurements that will encompass several tens of thousands of sample measurements per year within the CMF laboratories. The research is performed in close collaboration with the attoworld laboratories led by Prof. Krausz at the Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München (LMU, https://www.lmu.de/en/) and the Max-Planck Institute of Quantum Optics (MPQ, https://www.attoworld.de/). The aim of the CMF operations is to apply next-generation laser spectrometers for the analysis of human blood samples to non-invasively detect disease and monitor health.
