LiveIn this event series organized by the Einstein Foundation Berlin and the Zeiss Grand Planetarium, outstanding scientists present their journey to the latest research findings—from the smallest particles to the far reaches of the universe.November 4, 2026: “Research Without Animal Testing? New Methods in Biomedicine”How are new therapies for cancer, heart failure, or organ failure developed? And how are researchers today able to specifically reprogram cells, regenerate tissue, or activate the immune system against tumors? Animal testing remains indispensable in many areas of biomedical research—yet at the same time, increasingly innovative methods based on human tissue are emerging, opening up new perspectives for medicine.Three leading scientists provide fascinating insights into the medicine of the future—impressively visualized beneath the dome of the planetarium.Milad Rezvani demonstrates how new liver tissue develops from stem cells and what role regenerative medicine could play in the future in curing serious diseases. Michael Gotthardt takes the audience on a journey into the beating heart and explains how molecular processes control our heart function and why their interaction determines health and disease. Annette Künkele demonstrates how genetically modified immune cells recognize and fight tumors—and what hopes modern immunotherapies hold for cancer treatment.With impressive projections, scientific precision, and clear explanations, “Einstein in the Dome” combines fascinating research questions with an immersive experience for anyone who wants to know how the medicine of tomorrow is taking shape. »Scientific Basis of the Event«Biomedical research is currently advancing at a rapid pace; innovative high-tech methods are opening up entirely new possibilities. Many of these methods are based on human tissue, meaning they do not require animal testing and have the potential to provide greater predictive power for humans.Charité 3R and the Einstein Center 3R—where “3R” stands for “Replace, Reduce, Refine” in the context of animal testing—will present three exciting projects that exemplify the use of such methods in research.Speakers:Annette Künkele is a professor of CAR-T cell therapies, director of the Berlin Center for Advanced Therapies (BeCAT), managing director of the National Center for Tumor Diseases (NCT) Berlin, and a senior physician in the Department of Pediatric Oncology and Hematology at Charité – Universitätsmedizin Berlin.Milad Rezvani is a pediatrician and liver specialist at Charité, as well as the director of a DFG Emmy Noether Research Group. Michael Gotthardt is a physician and professor of experimental and translational cardiology at the Max Delbrück Center for Molecular Medicine and Charité – Universitätsmedizin Berlin.Moderator:Biologist and neuroscientist Jochen Müller, who holds a Ph.D., organizes and moderates science slams in Germany and abroad and writes for publications such as “Dasgehirn.info” and “Zeit Wissen,” among others.The event is free of charge; please register here: Please pick up your free tickets at the box office by 6:30 p.m.In cooperation with the Einstein Foundation Berlin.© Charité 3RTranslated with DeepL
