Profile
They are tiny but playing a major role in the body: cells in motion. Cell dynamics are essential for the development and maintenance of higher biological functions. They determine development, tissue homeostasis and regeneration but they can also cause diseases. The Cluster of Excellence focusses on inflammatory processes causing pathologies such as heart attack, multiple sclerosis or rheumatism. To understand cellular behavior in its full complexity the development and application of modern imaging strategies is of great importance. With its broad spectrum of imaging strategies allowing to pursue scientific approaches from the biological basis to clinical applications the Cluster of Excellence is nationally and internationally unique.
