Welcome to translational research in sepsis and severe infections!

The Septomics research centre is a cross-faculty research centre of the Friedrich Schiller University Jena which was established in 2009. It is scientifically and administratively associated with the University Hospital Jena and the Leibniz Institute for Natural Product Research and Infection Biology – Hans Knöll Institute. We conduct sepsis and infection research combining interdisciplinary systems biology basic research with clinical and translational research. Using this approach, we aim to overcome the persistent stagnation in the diagnosis and therapy of sepsis and severe infections by means of improved molecular understanding.
