Research Institutions
Partner to leading life-science institutes
Ascenion currently works with 15 life-science institutes in the Helmholtz and Leibniz Associations and one Medical School.
Helmholtz Association:
Research projects relating to the health of man in the environment in order to identify health risks posed by environmental factors, to elucidate mechanisms of disease development, and to develop concepts for the long-term protection of human health and the natural basis of life
Infection research with a primary focus on pathogens which are either medically relevant or which can be used as models for researching the mechanisms of infection
Research into the role of genes and gene products (proteins) to better understand, treat or prevent severe diseases, in particular cardiovascular and metabolic diseases, cancer as well as function and dysfunction of the nervous system
Leibniz Association:
The ATB's task is to create process-engineering bases for sustainable land-use management and to provide innovative technical solutions for industry. By combining scientific and engineering findings, especially in the field of new technologies such as biotechnology and information technology
Research into tropical illnesses, diagnosis and treatment of patients affected, and vocational training of doctors in the field of tropical medicine
Research into the relation between nutrition and health from the molecular basis to clinical applications
Biological and biomedical research with and on primates as well as services for other research institutions in this field
Interdisciplinary research center devoted to the research of rheumatic diseases. One of the leading international institutes in the field of immunology, experimental rheumatology and epidemiology
Research into the molecular mechanisms of age-associated diseases and of the process of ageing; specific topics include the identification of genes involved in the regulation of organismic life span, the analysis of DNA repair deficiencies or of so-called protein unfolding diseases (Parkinson, Alzheimer)
Research projects related to the initial stages of drug research with a particular focus on clarifying structure, function and protein-ligand interaction as well as identifying small molecules that bind to corresponding proteins and thereby trigger biological activity
Health and biomedical research in pneumology (diseases relating to the lung or brochia); the current focus is on infection biology, allergology, tumor biology and chronic inflammations the causes of which are not yet fully understood
Identification and investigation of natural products produced by microorganisms, mainly fungi, to understand their role as mediators of biological communication, to use them for the elucidation of cellular processes and to develop novel natural product-based antibiotics mainly directed against pathogenic fungi
Research into the biology of human viruses, the pathogenesis of viral diseases as well as the immune reactions of organisms and correlated problems
Basic and applied research in the area of plant genetics and crop plant research; major areas of application include farming, plant breeding, food and feed technology as well as the use of renewable raw materials
The Leibniz Institute for Neurobiology (IfN) is dedicated to the study of the mechanisms of learning and memory
Medical Schools
Healthcare provision and research into new diagnostic and therapeutic approaches with a particular focus on transplantation medicine, cochlear implants and infection research
Further life-science institutes
The Helmholtz Centre for Infection Research (HZI) and the Medical School Hanover (MHH) have established the Twincore Centre where researchers and clinicians will closely work together in the areas of basic and clinical infection research. |
