Environmental Health Center Institut für Umweltmedizin
"Umwelt" ist alles, was nicht "wir" sind. Es gibt viele Faktoren, die bestimmen, ob das, was uns umgibt, unsere Gewohnheiten und unsere Lebensweise uns gesünder und glücklicher machen oder uns krank machen. Bei IEM suchen wir nach dem, was uns gesund und widerstandsfähig macht und was uns dies auch bleiben lässt. Prävention ist unser Hauptziel.

Unsere Forschung
We focus on basic research in the field of allergy, the microbiome of the skin and on easily accessible biomarkers, as indicators for example for allergies or sensitizations, or for the prediction of the severity of infections with Corona-Virus.
Outstanding scientists in the fields of Clinical Studies, Environmental Immunology, Human Exposure Science, Microbiology and Environmental Bioinformatics co-operate in our projects. We are working to improve methods of diagnosis, develop integrated and personalized strategies for prevention and therapy of chronic environmental diseases such as allergies or atopic eczema and improve people’s health within a perspective of Sustainable Health. The needs of the patients we see at the Outpatient Clinic of Environmental Health at Augsburg University Hospital are guidance in developing our research questions and the answers we find immediately are integrated into the treatment of our patients.
We focus especially on the consequences of man-made pollution and climate change or changing environmental conditions on our health and on our options to strengthen resilience and adaptation. We work for healthy people in healthy environments.
