Welcome to the web sites of the Center for Materials Research!
The Center for Materials Research is an interdisciplinary university research center at JLU.
It is dedicated to the implementation of joint research projects, the support of the study courses in materials science and it promotes scientific qualification in materials research.
An overview of our scientific team is available under
Team & Topics.
The center provides the participating research groups with central experimental resources in its
Method Platforms.
The ZfM coordinates the JLU research profile area ("area of potential")
Material and Energy (focus: storage materials).
Further information on our tasks can be found under
About us.

Picture of the Month - July 2025
Tissue Classification in Feline Cancer Using Raman Spectroscopy and Machine Learning
The illustration depicts the established workflow: Tissue samples from cats are provided by the team of veterinary pathologist Dr. Manfred Henrich. These samples are analyzed using Raman spectroscopy in the research group of Prof. Peter J. Klar, where characteristic spectral fingerprints are acquired from both healthy and cancerous tissue regions. The collected data is then processed and evaluated in the group of Dr. Janis K. Eckhardt using statistical methods and machine learning algorithms. These models are trained to recognize subtle spectral differences, enabling automated and objective classification of tissue types.
This picture was submitted by Dörte Brandau (group of Dr. Janis K. Eckhardt).
Further insights into the research activities of the ZfM groups can be found in the Gallery.
