Organisation

The LSC InfectoOptics has been established around the two Leibniz Institutes HKI and IPHT with their expertise in infection biology and photonic technologies. It further strengthens the close collaboration of the two institutes with the Friedrich Schiller University and other research institutions in Jena. The Leibniz ScienceCampi are an instrument of the Leibniz Association to promote the cooperation on an equal footing between Leibniz institutions and universities in the form of thematically-focused, complementary regional partnerships. The objective is to create networks to drive the respective research field and to strengthen the scientific environment for the relevant themes.

At the LSC InfectoOptics, junior scientists carry out interdisciplinary research projects. They are embedded into the lively and communicative scientific network in Jena and enrich the Jena School for Microbial Communication (JSMC).

Scientific Advisory Board
