At the Helmholtz Centre for Infection Research, scientists investigate the mechanisms of infectious diseases and their defences. We systematically develop the results of basic research towards medical applications. The scientific questions we work on include
To clarify such questions, we are investigating pathogens that are medically relevant or that can be used as models for research into infections. Understanding these mechanisms will contribute to combating infectious diseases with new drugs and vaccines.
Aims
The Centre's mission is to contribute to overcoming the challenges that infectious diseases pose to medicine and society in the 21st century. The HZI has defined its research priorities in the Infection Research Programme. The programme places particular emphasis on the transfer of research results into application, on individualised infection medicine and the application of information and data technologies for infection research.
