© WWU - Jan Lehmann A great success for the University of Münster: the German Research Foundation (DFG) is funding two new Collaborative Research Centres (CRC). The two research alliances - entitled "inSight - Multiscale imaging of organ-specific inflammation? and "Intelligent matter: From responsive to adaptive nanosystems? - will together be receiving funding of more than 20 million euros. The projects will be starting in January 2021, running initially for four years. The new Centres are a boost two of the research focuses which the University of Münster has: "Cell Dynamics and Imaging? and "Nanosciences'. "What great news! This is an impressive success for all scientists involved in the CRC, but also for the university as a whole," emphasises Rector Prof. Johannes Wessels. In the research project "inSight - Multiscale imaging of organ-specific inflammation ', scientists focus on the question of how the body regulates inflammation in different organs and, to this end, develop a specific imaging methodology. "Inflammation occurs whenever tissue in the body is damaged, for example, by infarctions, autoimmune diseases and infections,' explains CRC spokesperson Prof. Michael Schäfers from the European Institute for Molecular Imaging (EIMI) at Münster University.
