Our interdisciplinary research aims to identify health risks for man and his environment at an early stage, to elucidate mechanisms of disease and to develop concepts for prevention and therapy of diseases.
We are a non-profit research centre funded by the Federal Government of Germany and the State of Bavaria and we are member of the Helmholtz Association, the largest German research organisation. Our work is concentrated in the research fields 'Health' and 'Earth and Environment'.
The GSF as holder of the Bavarian Advancement of Women Prize 2004 and of the Total E-Quality Certificate is striving to increase the overall proportion of women on its staff and thus expressly urges qualified women to apply.
