Hohenheim scientists work interdisciplinary, cross-sectoral and together with partners to prevent diseases and ensure wellbeing for future generations.
Human Health
Hohenheim researchers investigate the biological foundations and socioeconomic-cultural framework for health of individuals and populations.
Animal Health
Good animal health is desirable not only for ethical reasons. It is also provides the essentials of a safe and nutritious human diet.
Plant Health
Healthy plants are prerequisite for a sustainable agricultural production,horticulture, healthy nutrition and for our cultural landscape.
Soil Health
The quality of soils and their capacity to function as a vital living ecosystem provide for our basic necessities: food, shelter, and water.
Antimicrobial Resistance
Antimicrobial resistance is recognized as one of the greatest threats to human health worldwide. Research and new strategies are needed.
Zoonoses
Zoonoses are infections transmitted naturally between humans and animals. An broader definition comprises also pathogens transmitted via contaminated food.
Microbiome
The vast majority of cells of the human body is not of human origin, but belong to microbial protozoa. Microbes colonize all parts of the body and influence its functions.
Bacteriophages
As alternative to antibiotics, evolutionary drivers, and as regulators of microbial homeostasis in ecosystems phages have a great role and comeback in science.
Epigenomics
Research at UHOH targeting epigenetic changes and effects is multidisciplinary and performed in plants as well as human and animal cell models.
KI and Information Technologies
are crucial to complement Hohenheim research in health and life sciences.
Digitization - eHealth
Next to technology innovations, digital transformation in health care requires new concepts for insurance, communication, big data processing and cyber security.
