New RTG at the University of Lübeck
The Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) funds a new Research Training Group (RTG) at the University of Lübeck. The RTG "Defining and Targeting Autoimmune Pre-Disease" (GRK 2633/1) focuses on events leading from health to benign autoimmunity and ultimately clinically manifest autoimmune disease. LIED is involved in the RTG with several projects and spokespersons are from LIED (Spokesperson: Ralf Ludwig, Deputy: Jennifer Hundt). More details in the press release from the DFG and from the University of Lübeck.

Our mission
Autoimmune and chronic inflammatory skin diseases, such as pemphigoid, pemphigus, lupus erythematosus and psoriasis pose a major medical burden. Our mission at LIED is to identify the genetic and molecular basis of these diseases, enabling better diagnosis and treatment for patients.
LIED is structured in 4 divisions:
1. Genetics of cutaneous inflammation (Ibrahim lab)
2. Model Systems of Inflammatory Skin Diseases (Ludwig lab)
3. Translational Research (Schmidt lab)
4. Systems Biology of Inflammatory Diseases (Busch lab)
