We would like to introduce our institute to you on these pages and provide you with important information on suitable contact persons → the services offered diagnostic services → our main areas of specialisation inresearch → and the current courses → give.
We offer the entire spectrum of virological diagnostics and also carry out highly specialised services, such as resistance testingagainst various viral drugs. One focus of our work at Ulm University Hospital is the virological monitoring of immunosuppressed patients, in particular patients following stem cell transplantation. Our research activities focus on persistent infections caused by herpes viruses, in particular the human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) → .
The Institute of Virology is a consultant laboratory of the Robert Koch Institute (RKI) → for human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) with a focus on HCMV infections in immunocompromised individuals.
