Prof. Dr. Thomas Schulz

Speaker of the Cluster of Excellence RESIST

At the heart of RESIST are the patients. We want to help them more efficiently – by closely integrating cutting-edge basic research and clinical science.

RESIST speaker Prof. Schulz is head of the Institute of Virology at the Hannover Medical School since 2000. He is also the spokesperson of the Collaborative Research Centre 900, which is all about chronic infections. His own RESIST research focuses on new treatment options of herpes virus infections.

Prof. Dr. Reinhold Förster

Co-speaker of the Cluster of Excellence RESIST

With our research in RESIST we also want to help older people. Many of them are particularly susceptible to infections and vaccinations of seniors are often not sufficient enough.

Prof. Förster is head of the Institute of Immunology at Hannover Medical School since 2001. He has many years of experience as speaker of the Collaborative Research Centre 621 and as a co-speaker of the Cluster of Excellence REBIRTH. His own RESIST research focuses, among other things, on the susceptibility of elderly people to herpes virus infections.

Prof. Dr. Gesine Hansen

Co-speaker of the Cluster of Excellence RESIST

We want to help people who are at particularly high risk for serious infections. Premature babies are particularly at risk. But we also take this challenge.

Prof. Hansen is the director of the Clinic for Paediatric Pneumology, Allergology and Neonatology at Hannover Medical School. She has many years of experience as a (co-)speaker of different research groups. With her research in RESIST she aims to provide best possible care to the youngest. She is particularly interested in infections of newborns.
