Innovation Center Prof. Dr. phil. Dirk Lindemann

Retrovirology

The Innovation Center's research focuses on the deciphering of molecular and cellular mechanisms of the replication strategy of retroviruses as well as the development and application of retroviral vector systems for gene therapy treatment approaches. The main research object is spuma or foamy viruses, which represent a special genus with special properties within the family of retroviruses.
