Although the proportion of women in leadership positions in science has risen steadily in recent decades, statistics show that women are still underrepresented. According to data from the Federal Statistical Office, in Germany only about a quarter of the professorships are held by women. Biologist Dr Noelia Alonso Gonzalez recently took up a newly established professorship in macrophage biology at the Medical Faculty of the University of Münster. The springboard for her career was a programme run by the "Cells in Motion" research network at the University, which explicitly aimed to improve gender equality in science and enabled her to establish her own research group.
