In brief, 13 scientists of the Universität Münster have teamed up with their complementary expertise to study the chemical biology of ion channels (“Chembion”). The interdisciplinary research activities are centered on five topics: ligand recognition, subtype-specific modulation, molecular imaging, molecular and cellular physiology and integrative (patho)physiology. We tackle physiological questions in the field of ion channels with innovative chemical methods, interconnecting chemistry, pharmacy, and medicine and foster the internationalization of young researchers.
