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”.

Study sheds new light on how our immune system works

Mast cells are immune cells that are known for their role in allergic reactions. A research team led by cell biologist Prof. Tim Lämmermann has now discovered a hidden talent of mast cells: They can capture and use another type of immune cell called neutrophils. The study has been published in the journal "Cell".

Video series provides insights into working worlds in life science research

In a three-part video series by the Collaborative Research Centre TRR 332 “Neutrophils”, doctoral students, postdocs, lab technicians and professors share some impressions from their professional lives. Among other things, they highlight the joy of interacting with colleagues, talk about the interplay between research and patient care, and open up about balancing work and family life.
