Sites of the Helmholtz Centre

The Sites of the Helmholtz Centre for Infection Research are distributed all over Germany. In addition to the main campus in Braunschweig, there are facilities in five other cities: Hamburg, Hanover, Saarbrücken, Würzburg and Greifswald.

Campus Braunschweig

At our headquarters in Braunschweig research focuses on the three main topics „Bacterial and viral pathogens“, „Immune response and immune intervention“ and „Anti-infectives“. How do bacteria and viruses make us sick? How does the immune system fight these pathogens? And which substances can protect us from infections in the future? These are the key questions that the scientists address at the Helmholtz Centre for Infection Research in Braunschweig.

The majority of the approximately 900 employees in Braunschweig are researchers, but management, administration and staff units are also hosted here.
