Molecular Pulmonology

Chromatin Modification and miRNAs in Lung Inflammation

We study lung inflammation in infection, allergy, and smoking related diseases, with special focus on microRNA and chromatin modifications. For that we make use of cell- and animal models, Next Generation-Sequencing, as well as state-of-the-art immunology and molecular biology techniques.

Clinical Research

Clinical and Translational Research

In clinical studies, we aim for new biomarkers and therapeutical strategies for lung diseases like asthma, COPD, and pneumonia. Our physicians take part in the pulmonology service of the university medical center, and we take part in the Clinician Scientist training program.

Systems Medicine

Systems Biology of Lung Inflammation

Aiming at a personalized medicine for patients with lung disease, we analyze the multitude of clinical and experimental data, as well as the complexity of human diseases by means of high throughput screening, bioinformatics, and mathematical modelling.
