• RTG 1071: Viruses of the Immune System

  The concept of the program is to provide intense training and mentoring for excellent PhD and MD students doing research at the interface of immunology and virology. Research topics include the basis of AIDS pathogenesis and viral oncogenesis as well as therapy and prophylaxis of herpesvirus and retrovirus infections. The local research and training activities are complemented by an exchange program with Harvard Medical School, which is based on many years of successful cooperations.
  
  

• RTG 1161: Disperse systems for electronic applications

  The objective of this research training group is to open new ways for education of graduate students along the innovative topic of printable electronics. The scientific challenge is the demonstration of simple electronic circuits from printable nanoparticulate pastes.
  
  

• RTG 1229: Stable and Metastable Multi-Phase Systems for elevated Service Temperatures

  High temperature materials, of huge technical and economic interest, are being researched in the post-graduate programme. In many motion and energy generation contexts they represent a decisive component for high efficiency. Multiphase materials, and in many cases those with nanoscale structures, are used for high application temperatures.
  
  

• RTG 1660: Key signals of adaptive immune response

  The main objective of this training grant application is to teach and foster young scientists in the field of adaptive immunity. The research program will focus on the molecular analysis of three cell populations (Dendritic, B cells and T cells), which will contribute to a fundamental understanding how the adaptive immune response works under physiologic as well as pathophysiologic conditions.
  
  

• Graduate School of the CRC 643 "Strategies of cellular immune intervention"

  Goal of this CRC is to successfully translate immunological knowledge, based on a manipulation of the immune system, i.e. immune intervention, to therapeutic practise.
  
  

• Graduate School of the CRC 796 "Reprogramming of host cells by microbial effectors"

  Major research goal of SFB796 is to understand the molecular and structural basis of host-pathogen interactions. To this end microbial effectors and their host targets are studied in plant and mammalian systems.
