Innovation

On the basis of the established departmental structure, interdisciplinary working groups and research teams have increasingly been formed in recent years to conduct research on individual issues in addition to routine and special diagnostics. One example of this is the T-cell-based diagnosis of tuberculosis, which the research team led by Dr. Christian Meisel has established in collaboration with the research group of Prof. Alexander Scheffold from the Department of Rheumatology and Clinical Immunology at Charité. The project was funded as part of Labor Berlin’s innovation management program.

“Tuberculosis – even if not in Germany
still one of the leading infectious diseases
one of the leading infectious diseases.
With the method we have developed
tuberculosis disease can be detected more quickly
tuberculosis, treat it earlier and thus
further spread.”
– Dr. Christian Meisel
