Scientists from several research networks at the University of Münster and their international guests are sharing new insights and ideas in inflammation research and immune system imaging this week (7 to 9 September). The focus of this year’s symposium is on systemic inflammation.
To mark World Sepsis Day on 13 September, critical care specialists Professor Jan Rossaint and Professor Alexander Zarbock from the University of Münster give insights into the latest research on sepsis and other types of life-threatening systemic inflammation. They also talk about what needs to be done to translate research into clinical application.
To celebrate NRW’s 80th anniversary, Münster’s city centre was transformed into a huge festival from 28 to 30 August 2026. Visitors explored eleven themed miles with information and hands-on activities on science, sports, climate and the emergency services. The team from the Multiscale Imaging Centre contributed to the Science Mile.
A research team involving structural biologist Professor Christos Gatsogiannis and chemist Professor Bart Jan Ravoo has shown that peptides carrying a flat carbon network aggregate into long fibres in water. Using cryo-electron microscopy, the researchers analysed the structure with record resolution.
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.
