Research (Overview)
 

The research division of the ENT department was extended in 2007.

The former research rooms on the 4th floor were renovated, and a modern laboratory room was annexed on UG (underground) level.

Our present equipment and broad methodical spectrum cover multiple areas of basic research such as molecular biology, cellular immunology and cell biology, but also pre-clinical and clinical research.
