This April from the 28th until the 30th, the BioTOP Berlin-Brandenburg held the so called Bionnle 2009 at the Langenbeck-Virchow house (in the vicinity of the Charité Campus Mitte). The Bionnale is an established biotechonological convention of the state of Berlin-Brandenburg. Each year aproximately 500 guests – scientists, economists, politicians are invited. As part of the Bionnale the first Students Bionnale – “Discover and explore science” – was held for the first time this year.

The study group Open MRI was also represented at the students’ Bionnale and presented a compact endoscope and camera system in cooperation with W.O.M and MGB. After a short introduction, the visitors were able to become interventionalists in a mock-OR setting and practice minimally invasive instrumentation under endoscopic guidance.
