Professor Sara Wickström from the Max Planck Institute for Molecular Biomedicine, together with Daniel St Johnston and Ewa Paluch from the University of Cambridge (UK), receives an ERC Synergy Grant to study how cells shape and function in tissues. This prestigious award provides 8.5 million euros over six years.
How do cells in tumour tissue communicate with each other, and what can we learn about cancer from this? Researchers working with Professor Klaus Dreisewerd and Dr Jens Soltwisch at the University of Münster have developed a method combining fluorescence microscopy and mass spectrometry imaging. Using this method, they were able to reveal metabolic differences between individual cells for the first time.
On 10 September, 18 medical professionals from various modules of our Clinician Scientist CareerS programme participated in a special session as part of the 5th Inflammation and Imaging Symposium in Münster: they exchanged thoughts and recommendations with four experienced clinician scientists from Germany and abroad and learned from their experiences.
On September 12, 2025, the University and University Hospital Münster opened their doors to the public during the “Lange Nacht der Universitätsmedizin”. At the Multiscale Imaging Centre, many visitors took the opportunity to gain live insights into various areas of research.
In our videos, scientists provide multifaceted insight into their research and everyday work. They talk about current research questions, their new findings and how these findings were generated. They also talk about their personal motivations, the experiences they have had while on their career path and the framework of the scientific system. The videos are in either English or German and many of them have subtitles available in both languages.
