Welcome!

The Cells in Motion (CiM) Interfaculty Centre brings together and supports researchers from medicine, biology, chemistry, pharmacy, mathematics, computer science and physics who join forces to work on a big topic: They investigate how cells behave in organisms. To this end, they employ and develop innovative imaging methods. Our interfaculty network is the centrepiece of the University of Münster’s research focus in “cell dynamics, inflammation and imaging”.

“Lange Nacht der Unimedizin” on 12th September – come visit us!

The Multiscale Imaging Centre and numerous other research groups from our community will be opening their labs for the public.

How epithelial junctions mature: Study shows conformational transition in key protein

Epithelial tissues cover the inner and outer surfaces of the body. A study by the working group of cell biologist Prof. Carsten Grashoff now provides insight into the molecular details underlying the formation of the connections between epithelial cells.

The exhibition inVISIBLE at the Multiscale Imaging Centre

Come and visit our exhibition on cells in motion – and how scientists make them visible in the body! Presenting 24 images of cells, tissue and organisms, we offer insights into our research. Additionally, a twelve-metre-high wall installation sheds light on biomedical imaging from an artistic perspective.
