The institute
The Institute of Virology at the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine was founded in 1964 and the professor's chair for Virology was the first at a German University. The first head of the institute, Prof. Dr. Dr. h.c. Rudolf Rott, presided over the institute for 30 years until 1994. Since 1995 the institute is directed by Prof. Dr. Heinz-Jürgen Thiel.
Since its foundation the institute has performed research into the identification and characterisation of viruses and the diseases caused by viruses. The main areas of work comprise animal virology, molecular biology, cell biology and immunology.
