Value proposition

New anti-infectives through med. chemistry, natural product based research and drug delivery approaches.

The founding mission of Helmholtz Institutes was to foster scientific collaboration between Helmholtz Centres and universities. This turned into a story of success and trustful collaboration – through numerous joint projects and excellent promotion of young scientists, three former university groups have started HIPS, which has since become an institute with twelve research groups and close to 250 employees. HIPS scientists profit from close ties to both Saarland University and the HZI, placing them in a unique network of excellent partners to support their research endeavours. This intensive collaboration with 'external' partners is underlined by six affiliated research groups that complement HIPS' expertise in the fields of chemistry, informatics and medicine.
