Rudolf Virchow Center for Experimental Biomedicine
Vision
The Rudolf Virchow Center for Integrative and Translational Bioimaging (RVZ) is a leading interdisciplinary research hub at the University of Würzburg. Home to 15 cutting-edge research groups, the institute is at the forefront of developing and applying state-of-the-art imaging methodologies and analytical pipelines to investigate disease-relevant structures and mechanisms across scales—from the sub-nanoscopic level of individual molecules to the systemic complexity of entire organisms. Our vision is to translate fundamental scientific discoveries into impactful biomedical innovations.
A new strategy for treating a specific form of lung cancer: That is the goal of a research project led by José Pedro Friedmann Angeli. Financial support for the project is provided by the European Research Council.
Christophe Zimmer is the new “Spitzenprofessor” at the University of Würzburg. As a luminary in the field of biological imaging and processing, he will receive up to five million euros in funding from Hightech Agenda Bayern.
Once again, several researchers from the University of Würzburg are among the “Highly Cited Researchers”. In 2024, four professors make the list. Their work is frequently cited by colleagues worldwide.
