Welcome to Gaebler Lab for Translational Immunology of Viral Infections

What We Do

Welcome to the Gaebler Laboratory for Translational Immunology of Viral Infections at Charité Universitätsmedizin Berlin. Our team is dedicated to studying immune responses to viral infections, with a particular focus on HIV. Our goal is to advance research that prioritizes patient needs, enhancing our understanding of how viral infections work and developing effective treatments that improve medical care. Located in Berlin within Germany's only independent Department of Infectious Diseases, we are at the forefront of innovative research focused on finding an HIV cure, advancing HIV cure research at Charité Berlin, and furthering the field of viral immunology.
