    ZINF Research Center for Infectious Diseases

    Institutions of the ZINF

    The Research Center for Infectious Diseases (ZINF) is a MULTI-DISCIPLINARY NETWORK of researchers in Würzburg addressing molecular principles of host-pathogen interactions. It brings together experts from MICROBIOLOGY, PARASITOLOGY, VIROLOGY, IMMUNOLOGY, CHEMISTRY, and CLINICAL PRACTICE and facilitates cross-faculty communication, initiation of joint research activities, as well as recruitment of extramural funding.
