Leibniz Center Infection

The Leibniz Center Infection (LCI) is a strategic alliance of the Leibniz Institutes Bernhard Nocht Institute for Tropical Medicine (BNITM), Research Center Borstel - Leibniz Lung Center (FZB) and the Leibniz Institute of Virology (LIV).

The alliance is dedicated to research on the most important infectious diseases and promotes the research focus "Global and emerging infections".

The LCI combines regional competences and the international exchange between the Leibniz institutes, surrounding scientific institutions and universities and thus sustainably strengthens infection research in the Hamburg metropolitan region.
