Immunological Biotechnology

Research

Immunological biotechnology is an approach focussing on the development of strategies for dissecting and manipulating molecular processes in health and disease and is a crucial approach for establishment and optimisation of tools for therapeutic intervention as well as diagnostics.
 

Central for our research is the molecular access to the disease and a  mechanism-driven development of biologicals at the interface of immunology, protein biochemistry, biotechnology, and chemistry. Within this concept the specific needs for patient tailored, precision medical treatment are addressed.

Specific research interests and projects primarily focus on molecular, applied immunology in research, diagnostics and therapy. You will find a more specific description under research.
