Interdisciplinary exchange, teamwork and the quality of research were some of the topics discussed at this year’s forum, organised by two career support programmes of the Faculty of Medicine Münster: Clinician Scientist CareerS and the Medical Scientist Programme InFlame. The Cells in Motion Interfaculty Centre actively contributes to shaping these programmes.
Similar to a small cut that heals itself after a short time, individual cells in our body suffer “wounds” in their protective layer, the cell membrane, every day and have to repair them again. A research team working with biochemist Prof. Volker Gerke and cell biologist Dr. Nikita Raj have now identified the processes that enable the precise closure of such membrane injuries. Their findings were recently published in the journal “Advanced Science”.
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.
