RESEARCH NETWORKS

The research strength of the Faculty of Medicine is reflected in the successful acquisition of collaborative research projects. In such projects, researchers from the Faculty of Medicine join forces with partners from other faculties of the University of Münster as well as external institutions. Together they focus on specific fields of research and utilize emerging synergies to generate new knowledge.

  • Cells in Motion Interfaculty Centre

    With the establishment of the "Cells in Motion Interfaculty Centre", the University of Münster is continuing the concept of the Cluster of Excellence "Cells in Motion" (CiM) in the long term. Information on CiM can be found under "Completed projects".

    • Cells in Motion Interfaculty Centre
      Spokesperson: Prof. Dr. Lydia Sorokin (Faculty of Medicine)
      Participating faculties and non-university institutions: Faculties of Medicine, Biology, Chemistry and Pharmacy, Physics, Mathematics and Computer Science, and Max Planck Institute for Molecular Biomedicine

  • Collaborative Research Centres

    Collaborative Research Centers (CRCs) are research associations funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG) at a university or in an association of several universities (CRC/Transregio, CRC-TRR), in which scientists work across disciplines on a specific research topic. The long-term funding of up to twelve years, the thematic focus and the bundling of interdisciplinary expertise enable innovative, demanding and complex research projects. In this way, CRCs also serve to build institutional focus and structure.

    Collaborative Research Centers coordinated by the Faculty of Medicine

    • CRC 1450 "inSight - Multiscale imaging of organ-specific inflammation" (2021- 2028)
      Spokesperson: Prof. Dr. Michael Schäfers (Münster/Medical Faculty)
      Participating departments and institutions: Faculties of Medicine, Chemistry and Pharmacy, and Mathematics und Informatics (Münster), Max Planck Institute for Poymer Research (Mainz), University Bielefeld and University Hohenheim
    • CRC-TRR 332 "Neutrophils: origin, fate, and function" (2022 - 2026)
      Spokesperson: Prof. Dr. Oliver Söhnlein (Spokesperson, Münster/Medical Faculty) in cooperation with University Duisburg-Essen and LMU München.
      Participating departments and institutions: TU Dresden and Leibniz-Institut für Analytische Wissenschaften Dortmund

    Collaborative Research Centers with Faculty of Medicine participation

  • Research Units

    Research Units (FOR) are made up of a team of researchers working together on a research project and are funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG). Clinical Research Units (KFO) focus on the fields of disease-oriented research, patient-oriented research or translational issues.

    Research Units coordinated by the Faculty of Medicine

    Research Units with Faculty of Medicine participation

  • Graduate Schools / Research Schools / Colleges

    Research training programmes or “research schools” enable doctoral researchers to undertake their doctoral studies in a thematically focused field of science while completing a structured research training programme to develop professional skills and to gain key multidisciplinary qualifications.

     

    Medical Scientist Colleges offer a structured program for the promotion and establishment of natural scientists in the medical field. Within the framework of the College, specific patient-oriented research projects are addressed and further developed, accompanied by an interprofessional continuing education program.

    • Else Kröner Medical Scientist College "InFlame" (2022 - 2026)
      Spokesperson: Prof`in Dr. Perta Dersch
      Participating faculties: Medicine, Chemistry and Pharmacy, and Mathematics and Computer Science, and Max Planck Institute for Molecular Biomedicine

  • Network of University Medicine (NUM)

    In April 2020, the Network University Medicine (NUM) was established as part of the COVID-19 pandemic crisis management. The aim of the NUM is to better coordinate COVID-19 research at all 36 university hospitals in Germany by pooling the competencies, resources and research activities of those involved.

    Further information about NUM can be found here (in German only).

  • The Innovation Fund of the Federal Joint Committee (G-BA)

    The Innovation Fund of the Innovation Committee (IA) of the Federal Joint Committee (G-BA) was created in 2015 with the GKV Supply Strengthening Act (GKV-VSG). His goal is to improve health care in Germany. To this end, the Innovation Fund will support innovative, in particular cross-sectoral forms of care and patient-related health care research from 2016 to 2024. The innovation fund is financed by the statutory health insurance (GKV).

     

    Funding Line "New forms of health care" 
    New forms of health care as defined by the Innovation Fund are forms of health care that go beyond the previous standard care provided by the statutory health insurance system. Funding is provided for models that further develop cross-sectoral care and contain approaches to overcome the separation of the sectors, as well as those that optimise intra-sectoral interfaces.
