Section of Hematology & Immunology
Mission Statement
Our focus is to test newly developed drugs in the immunologic and coagulation field.
We try to combine in vitro, ex vivo and in vivo trials to obtain an integrated insight into pathophysiologic processes.
Current Projects
- First in man trials with chemokines, cytokines, antibodies
- Biosimilarity trials with biologicals
- Drug trials in human LPS infusion or lung instillation model to measure pharmacodynamics of novel compounds under standardized conditions of inflammation.
- Phase I-III patient trials, to monitor immunmodulation and coagulation in various diseases including stroke.
- Target on vessels, platelets and coagulation: Platelet hyperfunction in myocardial infarction, thrombotic microangiopathies, critically ill, extracorporeal circulations (hemodialysis, cardiopulmonary bypass, extracorporeal membrane oxygenation, left ventricular assist devices)
- Development of recombinant human diamine oxidase against mast cell activation disorders and anaphylaxis
