Forschung
Groups at the IMMIH focus on mainly three research areas:
- infection and cancer immunology
- antimicrobial resistance and diagnostics
- translational research on infectious diseases
The groups are supported by
- Cologne Cluster of Excellence in Cellular Stress Responses in Aging- associated Diseases (CECAD)
- CMMC
- Deutsche Froschungsgemeinschaft
