?Environment“ is everything that is not ?us“. There are a lot of factors that determine whether what surrounds us, our habits and way of life makes us healthier and happier or makes us sick. At the InstiTUte of ENvironmental 新万博体育下载_万博体育app【投注官网】icine and IntEgrative Health (TUNE) we are looking for what makes us healthy and resilient, and what lets us stay that way. Prevention is our main goal.

We focus on basic research in the field of allergy, the microbiome of the skin and on easily accessible biomarkers, as indicators for example for allergies or sensitizations, or for the prediction of the severity of infections with Corona-Virus.
Outstanding scientists in the fields of Clinical Studies, Environmental Immunology, Human Exposure Science, Microbiology and Environmental Bioinformatics co-operate in our projects. We are working to improve methods of diagnosis, develop integrated and personalized strategies for prevention and therapy of chronic environmental diseases such as allergies or atopic eczema and improve people’s health within the perspective of Sustainable Health. The needs of the patients we see at the Outpatient Clinic of Environmental Health at Augsburg 新万博体育下载_万博体育app【投注官网】 Hospital are our guidance for developing our research questions and the answers we find immediately are integrated into the treatment of our patients.
We focus especially on the consequences of man-made pollution and climate change or changing environmental conditions on our health and on our options to strengthen resilience and adaptation. We work for healthy people in healthy environments.
