From a "One Health" perspective, our department combines molecular, cellular, computational and systemic approaches to better understand disease mechanisms and to develop new therapeutic strategies for animal and human health in an interdisciplinary manner. In doing so, we link basic research with translational questions and look at health and disease across species and system boundaries. The close cooperation of different disciplines enables us to investigate complex biological relationships from different perspectives.  

Our tasks include research, teaching in pharmacology, clinical pharmacology and toxicology as well as communicating our expertise to the public.
