Podcast on the "4D Clinic - Interdisciplinary Help for People with Immune Diseases"

Immune diseases, such as rheumatism or psoriasis, are systemic diseases that often affect several organ systems simultaneously. An interdisciplinary approach is absolutely necessary for the optimal care of patients. This is implemented at Fraunhofer ITMP in the concept of the 4D Clinic. Professor Frank Behrens, deputy director of the institute, describes in the Fraunhofer podcast why the 4D Clinic is unique and what the concept can achieve for patients and research.

A potential oral therapy to treat hereditary angioedema

Hereditary angioedema (HAE) is a disorder in which one or more parts of the body become swollen. The triggers for HAE are unknown and is life threatening disorder, especially when the upper respiratory tract is affected. Current treatments for HAE include injections and infusions. In a Phase 2 clinical being run at the Universitätsklinikum Frankfurt, Charité - Universitätsmedizin Berlin and the Fraunhofer ITMP, it has been shown for the first time that an orally administered drug is effective against HAE. This therapy has the potential to overcome the issues relating the complicated route of administration for injections as well reduced cost.

Research Divisions

Fraunhofer ITMP is organized in 3 cross-site research divisions.

 

Drug Discovery

 

From target to screening to lead optimization and formulation.

 

Preclinical Research

 

Translational cycles and OMICs analyses for characterization of biological mechanisms and novel targets.

 

Clinical Research

 

From „Proof-of-Concept“ to the characterization of established products: “Quality by Design” for successful translation of innovative ideas.

Innovation Areas

Fraunhofer ITMP is optimally interconnected internally as well as externally with other Fraunhofer institutes, universities and industry via the innovation areas. This is the prerequisite for transdisciplinary and flexible cooperation in the areas of new technologies, disease and treatment concepts.
