High security laboratories

The high-security laboratories of the Fraunhofer Institute for Molecular Biology and Applied Ecology IME Bioresources Division in Giessen enable the research and testing of active substances on clinically relevant pathogens up to risk group 3. Work focuses on the identification of new and innovative active pharmaceutical ingredients from previously unnoticed sources, such as insects, the development of novel plant protection products for the control of invasive insect pests or the research of alternative, environmentally friendly pesticides for the preventive control of vector insects.
