The Institute for Lung Health uncovers the molecular and cellular mechanisms underlying the maintenance of lung health and their failure in lung disease, and develops etiology-based preventive and regenerative therapies.

Research at the ILH focuses on the parenchymal/vascular lung compartment with a strong translational mission. This includes the topics of Resilience, Remodeling, Repair and Regeneration.

The Hessen Lung Academy is a student-focused initiative that brings together young scientists and researchers from across Hessen, all engaged in advancing the field of lung research.
