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”.

Immune cells in focus: Millions in funding for neutrophil research

The German Research Foundation (DFG) is funding Collaborative Research Centre/Transregio 332 (CRC TRR332) "Neutrophils: origin, fate & function" for a second funding period, with approximately 13 million euros. The consortium investigates the diverse functions of a long-underestimated group of immune cells: neutrophils, the most abundant circulating white blood cells in humans.
