This laboratory studies the regulation of the immune response to Streptococcus pneumoniae, immunodeficiencies (with particular interest on innate immunity), and autoimmunity (with particular interest on serological markers).

The Unit of Parasite Diagnostics studies human and animal African trypanosomiases, visceral leishmaniasis and Chagas’ disease. All these diseases are caused by infections with single-cell (unicellular) Trypanosomatidae parasites.

We focus on parasitological, serological, biochemical and genetic markers for diagnosis-, and determination of the disease stage, including treatment failure and healthy carier status. We ...

Since over 25 years the laboratory focusses on the generation and characterization of monoclonal antibodies (Mabs), antibody derivatives, nanobodies and diabodies and application as either therapeutics, diagnostics or research tools.

Major research lines include:

• Studies on structure-function relationship in proteins involved in cardiovascular disease (e.g.  Plasminogen Activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) and Thrombin ...

The service pediatrics deals with the medical care of infants, children, and adolescents.

Research is aimed at understanding movement deficits as well as the human rehabilitation potential and ability to prevent further morbidity.

The doctors of the service K.N.O. (throat-nose-ears) offer a highly personalized approach to the patient with a nose, throat or ear problem, but the head and neck area also belongs to this specialty. It is about hearing, balance, smell and taste, and the functions breathing, swallowing and speaking. This is done according to the most modern techniques and current insights.

Medical microbiology and hospital infections are the main research themes of the proposed research group, with special expertise in bacterial identification and typing and antibiotic sensitivity assays; Verotoxin producing E. coli (VTEC); Gynecological & congenital infections including CMV, toxoplamosis & urea laser; Bordetella pertussis; Respiratory vial and mycobacterial infections; Diagnosis and follow-up of HIV infection; Hospital ...
