Fraunhofer Institute for Toxicology and Experimental Medicine
The primary goal of the Fraunhofer Cluster of Excellence for Immune-Mediated Diseases is the translation of innovative ideas and identified targets into individualized therapies for immune-mediated diseases. The collaborating institutes want to bridge the existing gap from research on novel medications to what is actually available to patients.
In forward-looking projects, three Fraunhofer Institutes – Fraunhofer IME, Fraunhofer IZI, and Fraunhofer ITEM – are pooling their expertise, thereby enabling efficient translation. A substantial gain of knowledge in the pathophysiology of immune diseases will thus be generated, innovative targets will be addressed, and new treatment categories in this therapeutic area will be introduced and established.
