The ”Perioperative Inflammation and Infection” group tackles core questions in clinical perioperative medicine with basic science and translational means. The group has longstanding experience and contributed amply to the field.

Successful integration of Junior Researchers and publication of data in the Top-Journals in the field are our goal.

To that end biomarkers for post operative complications are identified in clinical studies and small animal models of such complications are being developed.

These projects are developed in close cooperation with our colleagues from Hannover (MHH), Groningen (UMCG) and Stanford University. Several academic departments for Anesthesiology in Germany are also among our cooperation partners for clinical studies.

Interprofessional education is the major focus in teaching. We actively cooperate with the Hochschule Osnabrück in a Robert Bosch Foundation project seeking to improve coeducation of medical and physiotherapy students. Please see the link in our teaching section for more information!

We are also actively pursuing to develop new leadership models in academic medicine in cooperation with different academic medical centers in Germany and The Netherlands.
