Communicating in the Language of Life
How do the trillions of cells in our body coordinate their actions to support our life and health? This marvel of communication involves constant exchange of diverse signals within and between cells. Researchers in the Cluster of Excellence CIBSS - Centre for Integrative Biological Signalling Studies at the University of Freiburg are dedicated to understanding this biological language that orchestrates multicellular life in humans, animals and plants.

What is signalling science? In the 31st episode of the science podcast “Exzellent erklärt” (excellent explanation), two CIBSS scientists talk about their research. (Podcast in German.)
