Excellent, interdisciplinary research achievements at JLU are supported by six interdisciplinary research centers and brought together in special infrastructure facilities such as the Seltersberg Biomedical Research Center. To support its top research areas in particular, the university also relies on the systematic establishment of Core Facilities that bundle scientific equipment and infrastructures in terms of space and organization and make them available across departments.
