ERC Proof of Concept grant for Jonas Ries

Jonas Ries has been awarded an ERC Proof of Concept grant, building on his ERC Consolidator Grant. With his project ‘PhaseFLUX’, Jonas aims to develop a prototype of a new microscope with advanced 3D and multi-color imaging capabilities. Specifically, the Ries lab is developing a novel technical enhancement to MINFLUX, a super-resolution microscopy technology that can achieve precise, sub-nanometer localization of individual fluorescently labeled molecules. The ERC Proof of Concept grant, providing €150,000 for one year, supports projects with the potential to translate ERC-funded research into commercial applications or societal impact.
