Clinical
Trials and Digital Epidemiology

We strongly believe that the strength of our research consists in its translational character. Clinical trials are therefore one major focus of our work. On the right we show our new digital cohort study DigiHero, our own clinical trials as well as those from other groups that permitted us to make our scientific contribution in terms of immunological, disease or resistance monitoring. Thanks to all our partners for the great collaboration!

1 \ DigiHero

 

Lately, we have become big fans of digital epidemiology inspired by a great team of researchers around Prof. Rafael Mikolajczyk from the University of Halle. In the digital cohort study DigiHero conducted in Saxony-Anhalt, we are currently focusing on post-acute sequelae of COVID-19 (PASC; "long Covid"), but also SARS-CoV-2 variant-specific immunity.
