Institute of Virology (VIRO)
The institute´s research activities focus on the molecular understanding of virus-host interactions. Based on this understanding, we develop and improve the preventionand therapy of viral infections and virus-related diseases.
Main research focus
- chronic viral hepatitis
- retroviral persistance in humans
- viral vectors and vaccines
To translate basic science findings intro prevention and therapy of viral diseases, we join our forces with the Institute of Virology at the Technische Universität München and closely collaborate with the Hospital rechts der Isar.
