Research Cooperations
Research in the field of One Health requires interdisciplinary collaboration across institutional boundaries. Complementing HIOH's core scientific focus and expertise, close cooperation with the Helmholtz Centre for Infection Research, our founding partners – the University of Greifswald, University Medicine Greifswald and the Friedrich Loeffler Institute – as well as with national and international partners, strengthens our research excellence.

Local Partners
The Helmholtz Centre for Infection Research (HZI), the University of Greifswald, the University Medicine Greifswald and the Friedrich-Loeffler-Institute (FLI; Federal Research Institute for Animal Health) jointly founded the Helmholtz Institute for One Health (HIOH) in Greifswald in 2022. Together, they combine complementary expertise in infection research, medicine, veterinary science and population-based health research.
In addition to its founding partners, HIOH collaborates closely with local partner institutions in Greifswald and the surrounding region, such as with the Greifswald Mire Centre. These collaborations strengthen regional research networks and support the integration of environmental, human and animal health perspectives.
National Cooperations
Beyond the local context, HIOH maintains collaborations with a broad range of national partner institutions across Germany. This includes close cooperation with other institutes in the HZI family, such as the Helmholtz Institute for Pharmaceutical Research Saarland (HIPS) and TWINCORE – Centre for Experimental and Clinical Infection Research, as well as collaborations with the following national partner institutions:
