Fall issue of the patient magazine

New issue Klinikum aktuell 04/2025

The cover picture of the current issue shows the exposure chamber at the Institute of Occupational, Social and Environmental Medicine - where inhalative exposures are tested under controlled conditions. The Institute celebrated its 50th anniversary this year - an occasion for a top-class scientific anniversary symposium, which took place on October 7 in the St. Vincent House. In an interview with KLINIKUM aktuell, Prof. Dennis Nowak, Director of the Institute and Polyclinic for Occupational, Social and Environmental Medicine, explains, among other things, why occupational medicine is above all preventive medicine.

University research, teaching and scientific progress are among the core tasks of a university hospital. In this issue, we give you an insight into various areas of cutting-edge research - from basic research to clinical application. For example, researchers at LMU University Hospital are investigating the side effects of CAR-T cell therapies (p. 27), proving the effectiveness of possible safe alternatives to a toxic tuberculosis drug in clinical studies (p. 26) and identifying epigenetic markers that are characteristic of the disease depression (p. 28 f.).
