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 14 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.
Five professors from the University of Würzburg are among the Highly Cited Researchers 2025. This list includes researchers whose work is cited particularly often by other scientists.
Dr. Hariharan Moorthy is investigating a special form of cell death that could enable innovative cancer therapies. An Alexander von Humboldt Fellowship allows him to conduct his research at the University of Würzburg.
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.
