Research group(s)
- Surgical Research Laboratories
Head: Michael Bergmann
Research Area: The task of the laboratory is to combine molecular/cellular biology and the needs posed by surgical patients. Thus, the laboratory acts at the interface between clinical medicine and basic research, promoting translational medical science.
Members: - Thoracic Surgery
Head: Bernhard Moser
Research Area: Our research areas focus on immunological and inflammatory mechanisms of thoracic diseases, thoracic surgery and thoracic oncology.

Research interests
The research focus is on thoracic diseases.
The research is patient oriented.
- Thymic diseases: Thymic epithelial tumors, Myasthenia gravis
- Pulmonary hypertension: CTEPH and iPAH
- Lung transplantation
The characterization of molecular targets involved in pathophysiological pathways in patients with thymic diseases or patients undergoing lung transplantation or pulmonary endarterectomy surgery is the focus of our laboratory.
