We are the lung research center of the Leibniz Association. Our main focus: Common diseases such as asthma, allergies and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), as well as infection-related inflammation of the lungs, in particular tuberculosis (TB).
The program area is dedicated to research into asthma, COPD and allergies, as these are among the most common chronic diseases and therefore cause an enormous burden for both patients and healthcare systems.
The Infections program area is dedicated to researching and combating bacterial infectious diseases of the lung with a focus on tuberculosis. The aim is to improve the control and treatment of this disease.
How does resistance develop—and what can be done to preserve Antibiotic effectiveness?
Using laboratory experiments and mathematical calculations, researchers at the FZB have for the first time been able to define the areas in which the development of resistance to two important tuberculosis drugs is favored.
