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”.

Translational research: From bench to bedside – and back

How does a laboratory discovery become tangible help for patients? In a guest contribution, anesthesiologist and intensive care specialist Prof. Jan Rossaint describes how translational research can bridge this gap. In Münster, interdisciplinary collaborations bring together basic research, clinical practice and data science in order to implement new therapies more rapidly and safely, with a stronger focus on patients.
