Synopsis:
Public-private partnership breaking new ground in the diagnosis of infections. More than 30 partners from science, medicine and industry are jointly developing novel solutions for fast and cost-effective on-site diagnostics of infectious diseases.
At the research campus, innovative photonic and molecular biological methods are developed and combined to reliably detect infectious agents (especially viruses, bacteria and fungi) and antibiotic resistance and to better understand the host response (e.g. in sepsis). In a triad of technology, application and production, laboratory and rapid tests are thus created for use in human and veterinary medicine and for food safety.
