Leibniz Research Networks

The aim of the research network is to detect biological active substances, to research their effect and finally to use them medically.

Focal points are:

• Collection of organisms and biological materials as potential sources for new active substances
• Isolation, analysis and chemical modification of active substances
• Research into potential areas of application for biological agents:
  – for example, as antibiotics, anti-inflammatories, or with other medicinal effects
• Application in health products, nutrition and agriculture
