As Europe’s leading research center focused on environmental health, the Helmholtz Zentrum München is investigating the complex interactions between genetic disposition and environmental factors in the development and progression of chronic diseases. By elucidating the interaction mechanisms between environmental and lifestyle factors and biological systems, we expect to develop innovative approaches for the prevention, diagnosis and therapy of disease processes. Our main focus is on chronic diseases of the respiratory tract and the immune system. We are also contributing to research on cancer, neurodegenerative diseases, cardiovascular diseases and diabetes. As a national competence center, we are also responsible for tasks in radiation research and protection. ... [Information of the supplier]

Over the last 20 years, biodiversity research has been established and shaped as a young interdisciplinary research field. In light of the global biodiversity crisis, however, this research is under pressure related to time and expectations and investments are necessary. The German Centre for Integrative Biodiversity Research (iDiv) is funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG) since October 1, 2012, and will become a hub for biodiversity research. The German Centre for Integrative Biodiversity Research (iDiv) concentrates expertise across city and state borders, brings together top scientists, connects theoreticians and empiricists of manifold research fields, focuses on theory and synthesis (synthesis centre sDiv), educates a new generation of scientists in transdisciplinary biodiversity research (graduate school yDiv) and communicates the importance of safeguarding biodiversity. ...
