Our group comprises researchers from epidemiology, statistics, immunology and clinical medicine. Over the last decades we have been involved in a number of large multicenter interdisciplinary research projects, mainly focusing on the role of genetic, environmental and microbial determinants for childhood asthma and allergies. Asthma is one of the major epidemic illnesses in children with an estimated total burden in the 25 EU member states of €3.0 billion each year.
