International Connections

Four non-university research institutes in Jena directly participate in this initiative. The FSU maintains close collaboration with these institutions in both research and education, which is further strengthened by joint professorship appointments.


Some essential bioinformatical research topics aiming to answer the virological questions adressed in this initiative are not covered directly in Jena, and therefore bioinformatics experts from outside Jena have been invited to contribute to VirusREvolution. Also, to ensure a brought range of model viruses to develop tools which are generally usable for any virus, we integrated distinguished virology experts from other institutions.
