About
We do fundamental and applied research on infectious diseases to improve health in those who suffer most. Our main topic is malaria, the most important parasite infection and a life-threatening disease. We also contribute against viral, bacterial and parasitic diseases with a large disease burden or high risk of.
Aims
Our local, national and international fundamental and applied research activities include investigation on the biology and pathophysiology of the disease causing pathogens, testing new treatments, developing vaccines and monoclonal antibodies and evaluating large-scale interventions to eliminate infectious diseases.

We have been performing research on malaria vaccin for more than fifteen years to contribute toward the development of an effective vaccine. During controlled human malaria infections, we infect healthy paraticipants with malaria. Doctors and researchers are able to acquire information about the illness, which they can use to develop better treatment methods.

We support the fight against malaria with fundamental and applied research activities worldwide. Prof. Benjamin Mordmüller says: "Malaria is more than a disease. Individual, institutional, national, societal as well as scientific, cultural and economic borders must be crossed to create knowledge and interventions to have an impact on this dangerous and deadly infectious disease. With our local, national and international partnerships we aim to reduce the enormous burden of disease due to malaria."
