Welcome

This section comprises highly active research groups engaged in immunology, bacteriology, virology and parasitology affiliated with the faculties of biology, medicine and veterinary medicine. Emphasis is put on the molecular pathogenesis of infectious diseases of man and livestock as well as on disorders of the immune system. Aspects of innate and adaptive immunity, replication and invasion of pathogens, gene expression induced by inflammatory triggers in the host, and the development of new detection methods for infections are the main topics of this section. Doctoral researchers have the possibility to study molecular mechanisms within the exciting field of infection biology that are highly relevant to fundamental and applied science.
