INSTITUT FÜR MOLEKULARE INFEKTIONSBIOLOGIE
INSTITUTE FOR MOLECULAR INFECTION BIOLOGY

Chair: Professor Dr. Jörg Vogel

The Institute  for Molecular Infection Biology was founded  in 1993 as an interdisciplinary  institution
at the Medical Faculty of the University of Würzburg. The members of the institute present biological
problems  of  infectious diseases in  lectures, seminars  and  practical courses  in  particular to the
students  of  the biology  department,  but  also to a certain  extent  to  medical and  dental students.
As the education of graduate students is thereby one of the main focuses, the Institute for Molecular
Infectious Biology has been involved in planning and establishing an International Graduate School
at the University of Würzburg.
The Research groups at the Institute for Molecular Infection Biology study several molecular aspects
of infections that are caused by bacteria, parasites and fungi.
