Atopic dermatitis, allergy and environmental immunology
ProRaD: Prospective Longitudinal Study for the examination of the remission phase of patients with atopic dermatitis and associated diseases like asthma and allergic rhinitis (hay fever); Cooperation partner: CK-Care
The ProRaD study is meant to help improve the understanding of mechanisms which influence the course of atopic dermatitis and its accompanying allergic illnesses. The newfound results make it possible to develop new approaches for the prevention and treatment of atopic dermatitis and its accompanying illnesses. It is a multicentral observation study. To answer central questions, data from extensive questionnaires as well as biomaterials (blood, tissue, and skin swabs) get collected within a yearly rhythm.

EXTREME: Development of a systematic monitoring of mortality and morbidity during extreme weather events with a focus on extreme heat and extreme cold, research funding:Bayerisches Staatsministerium für Gesundheit und Pflege
The goal of the research project is the implementation of a register for all of Bavaria, which creates a data foundation that makes it possible to proactively prognose mortality and morbidity of the population caused by extreme cold and heat and to develop early warning systems. To achieve this, health outcomes, which are defined by chosen ICD-10 Codes on one hand and determinants of health for example life and working conditions, which are influenced by extreme heat and extreme cold and impact the mortality and morbidity of the population on the other hand, are systematically documented and multidimensionally analyzed.

CORAERO: Airborne Transmission of SARS Coronavirus - From Fundamental Science to Efficient Air Cleaning Systems, HGF
The project CORAERO of the Helmholtz-Community aims to make comprehensive, interdisciplinary contributions to better understand the spreading of respiratory viruses, which mainly spread in the form of aerosols as well as through droplets and fomites, on one hand and to develop technical and administrative measures for the reduction and control of viruses on the other hand. We plan on doing research and technology transfer for new technologies, which remove and deactivate viruses in the air and on surfaces.
