Our researchers are fighting the coronavirus pandemic with innovative approaches. With your donation you can support them in developing drugs and vaccines against the virus or in deciphering the mechanisms of disease development and progression. Here you can find out all about donation opportunities.
Learn more about how the HZI, with its translational focus, will help to facilitate a faster and more targeted approach when it comes to fighting and preventing existing, emerging or recurring infectious diseases.

The coronaviruses are a family of viruses that includes a series of very different pathogens. These viruses usually infect mammals, rodents, and birds, but only few coronaviruses adapted to humans. They did this with great success: About one third of all typical "common colds" and some cases of diarrhoea as well are caused by these RNA Viruses, which are the largest of their kind. We have compiled more information about the coronaviruses for you.
The HZI is taking part in Future Day 2024 for girls and boys on 25.04.2024. We would like to show pupils in grades 5-9 for one morning how exciting the work of our centre is in laboratories and offices. Further Information here.

Nicht erst seit dem Ausbruch der Schweinegrippe im vergangenen Jahr ist das Thema Impfen in der öffentlichen Diskussion. Masernerkrankungen nehmen vor allem in wohlhabenden Industrieländern wieder zu. Sich verändernde Klimabedingungen begünstigen Erreger, die in unseren Breiten längst ausgerottet schienen. Über passende Reaktionen, wie zum Beispiel verpflichtende Impfungen wurde in den vergangenen Monaten unter den Experten heftig debattiert. Neben der generellen Notwendigkeit von Impfungen stellen sich weitere Fragen: Welche Rolle spielen die Medien und die Politik? Wie ist der Informationsstand der Hausärzte zu diesem Thema? Wo sind Informationen über neue Impfstoffe verfügbar? Wie wurden diese Impfstoffe getestet und welche Risiken sind noch vorhanden? Die anwesenden Experten betrachteten diese Fragestellungen aus unterschiedlichen Blickwinkeln und diskutierten mit dem Publikum.
