Revolutionary muscle research: the Story of AMB and its partnership with DESY

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.
