Chronic inflammmation, triggered by dysfunctions on the boundary surfaces of the body’s organs and their interaction with the environment, represents a central challenge for modern medicine. It is considered to be the cause of many chronic diseases, which have been steadily increasing in recent decades – especially in western industrialized countries.

The goal of the Cluster of Excellence in Inflammation Research is to decode the molecular basis of chronic inflammatory diseases, as well as the complete identification of metabolic and signaling pathways as an approach to therapies and prevention.
