The IUF – Leibniz Research Institute for Environmental Medicine
Molecular preventive medicine
Our research mission …
… is the
prevention of environmentally-induced damage to human health.
We achieve
this by elucidating causal mechanisms in the effects of environmental toxicants
of global relevance (including particles, chemicals and radiation).
The IUF
focuses on environmentally-induced aging, adverse immune reactions and
neurotoxicity.
We develop
cutting-edge models for risk assessment and for the identification of
innovative strategies for prevention and intervention.
The
ultimate translational steps are achieved by advising regulatory authorities
and by cooperating with clinicians and representatives of industry.
