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”.

Pilot projects: Apply now!

In interdisciplinary teams, doctoral researchers and postdocs can now apply for funding for their first own research projects. (Application deadline: 28 February 2026)

Renewed funding to support physicians engaged in research

The University of Münster’s Clinician Scientist CareerS programme supports medical professionals who are engaged in patient care while actively pursuing research at the same time. In this dual role, they can make a key contribution to ensuring that research translates into new treatment options. The DFG is once again providing more than a million euros to fund the programme.
