DZIF
A German national research centre coordinating translational infectious-disease research across multiple sites. Activities span preclinical and clinical research, cohort and biobank management, diagnostic and therapeutic development (including vaccines, antimicrobials and microbiome-based approaches), pathogen genomics and digital surveillance, and training to accelerate translation of research into clinical practice.
