Gastroenterologie und Ernährung

Die Forschungsaktivitäten konzentrieren sich auf die Erforschung der Pathogenese allergischer Darmerkrankungen (Frau Univ. Prof. Dr. Almuth Christine Hauer).

Weitere Forschungsschwerpunkte beziehen sich auf epidemiologische Fragestellungen zur Zöliakie, Erweiterung neuer multidisziplinärer Diagnostik und Therapie bei funktionellen Störungen des Magen-Darmtrakts (zB Säuglingskoliken) sowie epidemiologische, diagnostische und therapeutische Probleme in der Hepatologie.

Hämostaseologie und Hämophilie  

Ziel der pädiatrisch hämostasischen Forschung ist es, durch Verbesserung der wissenschaftlichen Grundlagen zum Fortschritt in Diagnostik und Therapie von Hämostasestörungen (Störungen der Blutstillung) im Kindesalter beizutragen: Insbesondere im Hämostasesystem von Neugeborenen und jungen Kindern bestehen eine Reihe von Unterschieden im Vergleich zum späteren Lebensalter. Auch die Prävalenz und das Erscheinungsbild erworbener Gerinnungsstörungen unterscheidet sich von denen im späteren Lebensalter. Diagnostik und Therapie angeborener Hämostasestörungen betreffen vor allem das Kinder- und Jugendlichenalter.

Schwerpunkte der Forschungsarbeiten sind daher neben der Abklärung der physiologischen Besonderheiten der Hämostase bei Neugeborenen Defekte der Thrombozyten und des plasmatischen Gerinnungssystems, die zu Blutungsneigung oder Thromboseneigung im Kindesalter führen, sowie erworbene Gerinnungsstörungen bei pädiatrischen Erkrankungen.

Vakzinologie und Spezielle Infektionskrankheiten

Schwerpunkte der Forschungsarbeit der Arbeitsgruppe Infektiologie sind Schutzimpfungen, Meningokokkeninfektionen, Neuroborreliosen  und FSME-Infektionen.

Sowohl im Bereich der Schutzimpfungen als auch bei Meningokokeninfektionen wird durch unsere Arbeitsgruppe jeweils eine große mulitzentrische Studie geleitet.

Durch eine internationale Kooperation mit Kollegen aus England, Holland und Frankreich planen wir eine Studie zur Erforschung genetischer Gründe für das Erwerben und das Auftreten verschiedener Verlaufsformen von Meningokokkenerkrankungen bei über 2000 Kindern durchzuführen. Unseres Wissens nach handelt es sich hierbei um das größte Projekt, dass es bisher zur Erforschung dieser Erkrankung gegeben hat.
