Translational Pediatrics

The key scientific questions we are interested in are: what host factors and what environmental factors are beneficial and train the individuum’s systems in a good manner and what environmental challenges or individual immune programming hamper growth and maturation at which developmental time window, to what extent and how sustainable? The superior goal of our research efforts is to exploit the knowledge gain and translate the scientific findings into clinical practice, i.e., identifying novel preventive and therapeutic strategies in order to ensure life-long health of our children.
