1 00:00:06,720 --> 00:00:10,700 Cancer is the second most deadly disease all over the world. 2 00:00:10,700 --> 00:00:17,400 However, reliable, fast, and early diagnostics can help to fight cancer and save lives. 3 00:00:18,349 --> 00:00:24,639 In our project 3D-CANCER-SPEC, the research center innoFSPEC Potsdam in Germany 4 00:00:25,099 --> 00:00:29,700 and the optics company Winlight Systems in France will join forces 5 00:00:29,700 --> 00:00:33,000 to transfer technology from Astronomy to Medicine. 6 00:00:34,100 --> 00:00:38,800 The superb technology developed for the innovative MUSE imaging spectrograph 7 00:00:38,800 --> 00:00:41,000 on ESO's Very Large Telescope 8 00:00:41,300 --> 00:00:47,379 is now being further developed to become an optical diagnostics tool for clinical studies. 9 00:00:48,620 --> 00:00:54,520 The MUSE technology made to dissect galaxies and find out what they are made of 10 00:00:54,949 --> 00:00:57,339 will be used to distinguish in real-time 11 00:00:58,039 --> 00:01:03,309 healthy tissue from cancerous tissue – a long awaited tool for medical doctors.
