For more than four decades, we have been developing solutions for human health

 

Malignant disease

The Fraunhofer ITEM Division of Personalized Tumor Therapy in Regensburg aims to understand a patient’s individual condition, establish appropriate diagnostics, advance prevention and optimize therapies.

Medical and pharmaceutical engineering

Our focus is on new inhalation technologies and on novel technologies for administration of therapeutic aerosols by smart drug/device combination products.

 

Lung research

Research for healthy lungs: Airway research has been a focus at Fraunhofer ITEM ever since the institute was founded. 

Bioinformatics

Our researchers develop methods for preparation, analysis and visualization of biomedical data, as well as data models and data analysis pipelines. The focus is on the mapping of cellular and regulatory processes and their translation into applications.

 

Immunology and infection research

The development, formulation and mode of delivery of anti-infective agents, for example for inhaled administration as drug aerosols, are research topics of current interest at the institute.

 

Toxicology

Based on the next generation risk assessment concept, Fraunhofer ITEM develops new assessment strategies to provide predictive models for assessing the safety of compounds, active pharmaceutical ingredients and drugs.

 

RNA technologies

RNA-based therapeutics are a drug class with huge potential for medicine. Fraunhofer ITEM researchers develop novel drugs and methods for RNA-based therapeutic concepts.
