Research focus/ Working groups:
Our department is internationally recognized for excellence in both basic and clinical research in gastroenterology, hepatology, and infectious diseases. Our work has contributed to a growing body of high-impact publications in leading peer-reviewed journals and reflects our commitment to advancing the understanding of human health and disease.
A particular strength of our research lies in the close integration of fundamental discovery science with patient-oriented clinical investigation. This translational approach enables us to move scientific insights efficiently from the laboratory to the bedside and to ensure that research findings inform and improve clinical care.
Our research environment is highly interdisciplinary, bringing together investigators with expertise in medicine, biology, biochemistry, and nutritional sciences. This breadth of scientific and clinical competence provides a strong foundation for innovative, collaborative research at the national and international level.
