Inflammation Research Erlangen

Inflammation is essential for protecting the body from injury and infection. Yet when immune responses become dysregulated, inflammation can drive chronic diseases that affect millions of people worldwide.

At Inflammation Research Erlangen, scientists and clinicians work together to uncover the mechanisms that control inflammation and immune-mediated diseases. By combining expertise in immunology, rheumatology, molecular biology, advanced technologies, and clinical research, we bridge the gap between fundamental discoveries and innovative therapies.

Our goal is not only to better understand inflammatory diseases, but also to translate scientific insights into new treatment strategies that improve patients’ lives.

This research is driven by a diverse community of investigators within the Department of Medicine 3 – Rheumatology and Immunology, whose work spans basic, translational, and clinical research.
