InfectoGnostics
Research campus for the diagnosis of infectious diseases and infection research

The InfectoGnostics research campus is a funding initiative within the framework of the “Research campus - Public-private Partnership for Innovation” of the Federal Ministry of Education and Research. Within the project, research on developing new methods in infection diagnostics is funded with 10 million EUR over 5 years.

In a triad of technology, application and production, more than 30 partners from science, medicine and industry are developing marketable solutions for rapid and cost-effective on-site analysis (point-of-care testing) of infections – such as pneumonia (e.g. caused by antibiotic-resistant pathogens) and tuberculosis in human medicine, animal diseases, and pathogen detection in food.
