Institute for Infection Prevention and Control

Since its foundation over 30 years ago, the Institute has stood for conceptually innovative, effective and sustainable hospital hygiene. We are currently engaged in the multidisciplinary acquisition and application of knowledge for the prevention of infections, with a particular focus on people with compromised immunity, e.g. at the beginning of life and in the case of life-threatening illnesses. We focus on both - the patient and the pathogens. (More information on the About the Institute page)
