Dr. Anton Windfelder
My name is Dr. Anton Windfelder. I am a comparative immunologist interested in the functional and multimodal imaging of insects as alternative animal models for biomedical research. I am exploiting medical imaging methods such as computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, positron emission tomography, or photoacoustic imaging to study physiological and immunological processes in insects.
