Infection Diagnostics

Diagnosing infections by means of advanced molecular methods is becoming more and more widespread in hospitals and clinical departments. A change in clinical practice towards the use of new molecular methods has the potential to save lives through faster and more reliable diagnosis of critical infections. Nevertheless, development and market introduction of new assays for in vitro diagnostics and point-of-care analysis remains a challenge for both manufacturers and end-users.

We combine core expertise in molecular biology and bioinformatics with in-depth knowledge about routine clinical practice in hospitals. In cooperation with companies, researchers, and clinicians, we develop and validate new methods and assays for molecular in vitro diagnostics, and contribute to the implementation and change of clinical practices.
