CiM Flexible Funds Symposium
On 4 July 2017, project teams of the Cells-in-Motion Cluster of Excellence report about their scientific findings and apply for funding for a Fexible Funds Project. The symposium will take place at the Max Planck Institute for Molecular Biomedicine from 9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.
Looking at mRNA in fruit flies
Where is genetic information translated into proteins within a cell? In order to find more precise answers to this question, biologists and chemists at the Cells-in-Motion Cluster of Excellence are visualizing a biomolecule in cells – mRNA – which plays a decisive role for all functions of the cell.
When do filopodia grow in neurones?
What influence do the curvature and size of neurites have on the formation of filopodia? Mathematicians and biologists at the Cells-in-Motion Cluster of Excellence are looking for an answer by simulating the formation of filopodia and analysing the quantitative results.
"The way bones heal is fascinating"
Trauma surgeon Prof. Richard Stange investigates how bones heal. As the new Professor of Translational Regenerative Medicine at the Cells-in-Motion Cluster of Excellence, he combines basic research with clinical work. His aim is that research results should always benefit the patient as far as possible.
