In this episode, we explore the fascinating journey of Accelerated Muscle Biotechnologies (AMB), a startup company conducting cutting-edge research at Deutsches Elektronen-Synchrotron DESY in Hamburg –  from the founding idea to the technical challenges, the role of DESY, and the vision of revolutionary muscle research. Three out of four founders sit with us at the microphone: Dr. Anthony L. Hessel (CEO), Dr. Khoi D. Nguyen (CTO) and Michel Kühn (Director of Customer Services).

What does AMB do?
AMB provides specialized services to scientists studying the intricate mechanics of skeletal and cardiac muscles. Using small-angle X-ray diffraction, they enable precise, detailed insights into muscle structure and function at the molecular level. Based in Boston and Hamburg, they offer comprehensive support, including experiment planning, data collection, and analysis.

What makes their work innovative?
AMB is transforming muscle research by combining advanced experimental methods with streamlined hardware and software solutions. Their expertise opens access to synchrotron facilities like PETRA-III at DESY, empowering both academic and industry researchers. This approach accelerates the development of new drugs and therapies for musculoskeletal, cardiovascular conditions and even more.
