The group led by Professor Dr Christoph Schmidt specialises in innate immunology with specific focus on the "complement system", and studies its instructor roles for the entire immune system and general body physiology. Our efforts are devoted to push the fundamental understanding of complement biology by characterising complement's never ending list of interaction partners and its functional implications.

We are very keen to utilise basic research in our strive to define and develop new immunological application that one day, may aid patients.
