Research Units and Clinical Research Units

Research Units and Clinical Research Units at FAU

Research Units (RU) are groups of several researchers based at one or more locations. They often contribute to establishing new areas of research. The aim of Clinical Research Units (CRU) is to promote research groups involved in disease or patient-orientated (translational) clinical research and set up permanent research groups in clinical facilities.

Research Units coordinated by FAU

  • DFG research unit 2271 – Process-orientated tolerance management with virtual assurance methods
  • DFG research unit 2332 − Temperature-related stresses as a unifying principle in ancient extinctions (TERSANE)
  • DFG-research unit 2886 − PANDORA – Pathways triggering AutoimmuNity and Defining Onset of early Rheumatoid Arthritis
  • DFG-research unit 2990 − The eROSITA View of Stellar Endpoints (eRO-STEP)
  • DFG-Klinische Forschergruppe 5024 – Immune checkpoints of gut to brain communication in inflammatory and neurodegenerative diseases
