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.
