Section overview
Description
The research areas of the Institute are mostly tackling immunological aspects of infection and cancer, while one group focusses on molecular epidemiology of antibiotic-resistant bacteria.
The most prominent research stronghold relates to the DFG-funded Collaborative Research Center (CRC) 670 'Cell-autonomous Immunity', in which more than 20 scientists from the University of Cologne, the Max-Planck Institute for Plant Breeding Research and the University of Bonn jointly investigate cell-specific interactions with distinct microbial pathogens.
