A look back on our conferences

6th Inflammation & Imaging Symposium

Münster, Germany, 7–9 September 2026
The image motif of our conference in 2026: A cross-section of a mouse’s small intestine. Fluorescence microscopy depicts bacteria (Yersinia pseudotuberculosis, pink) on the intestinal wall (green, orange), platelets (yellow), blood vessels (red), and lymphoid tissue (Peyer's patch, orange, bottom right) – the main entry point for infection.

Lead: CRU 342 Organ Dysfunction During Systemic Inflammation

Co-organisers: CRC 1450 inSight, CRC-TRR 332 Neutrophils, Clinician Scientist Programme CareerS, Medical Scientist Programme InFlame, Translational Centre for Inflammation (TRACI), Cells in Motion Interfaculty Centre

5th Inflammation & Imaging Symposium

Münster, Germany, 8–10 September 2025
The image motif of our conference in 2025: Branch of the mesenteric vessel bed visualised by fluorescence microscopy. Major blood (turquoise) and lymph (red) vessels are surrounded by a rich capillary network (green), in which tertiary lymphatic organs (blue, egg-shaped) are embedded.

2nd Inflammation & Imaging Symposium

Münster, Germany, 12–14 September 2022
The image motif of our conference in 2022: a 3D computer reconstruction of microscopic images of a human skin biopsy. A new method enabled distinct visualization of the spatial arrangement of blood vessels (white) and lymphatic vessels (red).
