Scientific Infrastructure

Vice Dean's Office for Scientific Infrastructure

The team of the Vice Dean's Office for scientific infrastructure organizes and coordinates the Core Facilities, as well as the further development of research infrastructures at the Faculty. In the Core Facilities, highly developed technologies, scientific services and equipment are combined as an organizational unit and made available to researchers at the University Hospital, the University and external users within the framework of the Bonn Technology Campus Life Sciences (BTC).

We are your point of contact for:

  • Core Facility management (user management, equipment booking software PPMS, service portfolio, internal cost allocation, cooperation and service agreements)
  • preparation of proposals for major research instruments and Core Facilities
  • integration of Core Facility services into grant applications
  • communication and public relations in the field of research infrastructure
  • needs assessments for research infrastructures
  • annual evaluation report of the Core Facilities at the Medical Faculty

Dean's commission Core Facilities

The Dean's Commission Core Facilities meets four times a year to review and decide on funding applications submitted by Core Facilities and members of the Faculty of Medicine. The decisions serve as draft resolutions for the meeting of the Dean's Council.

Upcoming meetings

Monday, September 29th, 11 am - 13 pm

Friday, December 19th, 9 - 11 am


Please submit topics exclusively by email to DEK.technology@ukbonn.de at least 3 weeks before the meeting. You will then receive the necessary application forms, which must be available at least 2 weeks before the meeting.

News about projects we supported
A study by the University of Bonn and the Doherty Institute
Macrophages formed in the bone marrow can only assume the function of embryonal phagocytes, or “scavenger cells,” to a certain degree according to a study by the University of Bonn and the Peter Doherty Institute for Infection and Immunity at the University of Melbourne. The researchers have demonstrated that malaria infection causes permanent damage to resident CD163 macrophages in the spleen, which are responsible for cleaning the blood, recycling iron and communicating with other cells involved in the body’s immune response. Their findings could harbor potential not only for more effective malaria vaccines but also for developing drugs and treatments to combat other infectious diseases. The paper is to be published in the journal “Immunity” but can already be accessed online.
University of Bonn and Research Center Borstel, Leibniz Lung Center Discover New Application for Synthetic Peptide
A team from the University of Bonn and the Research Center Borstel, Leibniz Lung Center (FZB) has discovered a previously unknown mechanism of action for a synthetic peptide that mitigates excessive inflammatory responses in allergic asthma. This mechanism specifically inhibits a key inflammatory switch in the immune system and opens up new avenues for treating chronic inflammatory diseases. The findings have now been published in the journal Advanced Science
Findings from Bonn, Edinburgh and Newcastle could give a boost to pharmaceutical research.
Interferon alpha is an inflammatory mediator that can cause Sjögren’s syndrome, an autoimmune disease. This is revealed in a recent study carried out by the University Hospital Bonn together with the University of Bonn, the University of Edinburgh and Newcastle University. Their findings, which have been published in the journal “Lancet Rheumatology,” could make it easier in the medium term to develop drugs to fight this chronic condition.
Researchers in Bonn Develop New Model for Studying Follicular Regulatory T Cells
For the immune system to effectively combat pathogens, antibody responses must be precisely controlled. So-called follicular regulatory T cells (Tfr cells) play a key role in this process by limiting excessive immune responses and helping to maintain immune tolerance. Researchers at the University Hospital Bonn (UKB) and the University of Bonn have now developed a robust laboratory method that allows Tfr cells to be generated from precursor cells and studied in a targeted manner. The results were recently published in the journal Cellular & Molecular Immunology.
