Cooperations
Research in the field of One Health means interdisciplinary collaboration across institute boundaries. As an ideal complement to HIOH's central scientific focus and competencies, close cooperation with the founding partners Helmholtz Centre for Infection Research, University of Greifswald, University Medicine Center Greifswald and Friedrich Loeffler Institute, as well as with other national and international partners, strengthen our research excellence.
Founding Partner Institutions
The Helmholtz Centre for Infection Research (HZI), the University of Greifswald (UG), the Greifswald University Medicine (UMG) and the Friedrich-Loeffler-Institut (FLI; Federal Research Institute for Animal Health) jointly founded the Helmholtz Institute for One Health (HIOH) in Greifswald.
University Greifswald
Founded in 1456, the University of Greifswald is one of the oldest universities in Germany. Today, it is an internationally recognized research university offering excellent study conditions in modern buildings with an excellent infrastructure for research-oriented teaching. Cutting-edge research is the result of intensive interdisciplinary collaboration between the faculties and renowned regional, national and international research partners. An excellent research infrastructure is available to the University's scientists, including two inter-faculty research buildings of national importance and an outstanding (meta-)proteomics platform. Infection research at the University is based on interdisciplinary and cross-faculty research networks addressing major bacterial pathogens, diagnosis and therapy of infections, bacto-viral co-infections, the spread of antimicrobial resistance, human and environmental microorganisms, and bats as potential pathogen reservoirs.

University Medicine Greifswald
With its combination of population-oriented, epidemiological community medicine and state-of-the-art molecular medicine, Greifswald University Medical Center (UMG) has successfully developed a unique research profile over the past decades. The "Study of Health in Pomerania (SHIP)", started in 1997, is one of the most comprehensive longitudinal cohort studies covering a broad spectrum of phenotypic and genotypic characterizations. UMG is a partner of the German Center for Cardiovascular Research (DZHK) and the German Center for Neurodegenerative Diseases (DZNE). The newly established KAS+ project is the next step in making clinical information available for research. Since infection and inflammation is one of UMG's focus areas, UMG provides access to clinical and medical institutions to jointly generate much-needed knowledge and strategies to curb the ongoing threat and health burden of infectious diseases.

Friedrich-Loeffler-Institut
Founded in 1910 by Friedrich Loeffler, the FLI, Federal Research Institute of Animal Health, is an independent federal agency under the auspices of the Federal Ministry of Food and Agriculture, dedicated to research for the health and welfare of food-producing animals and the protection of humans from zoonotic diseases. With its recently completed state-of-the-art laboratories and animal testing facilities up to biosafety level 4 at its headquarters in Greifswald-Island Riems, it is one of the most modern infectious disease research facilities in the world. Research at the FLI is based on federal animal health legislation, including the operation of national and international reference laboratories for notifiable and other reportable animal diseases and zoonoses, e.g. caused by influenza viruses, coronaviruses, Coxiella and mycobacteria.
