State-of-the-art medicine and nursing care you can rely on - Since being founded in 1815, Universitätsklinikum Erlangen has offered medicine of the highest standard and incorporated the latest insights from medical research and state-of-the-art equipment into diagnosis and therapy. More than 9400 employees from approximately 50 different occupations are needed to provide the wide range of services offered by Universitätsklinikum Erlangen, ensuring our patients receive the very best care around the clock.

The main research topics of the Hector-Center are clinical and experimental studies regarding cancer, obesity, short gut syndrome/chronic intestinal failure, microbiota, and food intolerances. Our translational projects always aim at improving the patients’ therapy. The diagnosis of food intolerances is often lengthy and difficult due to the different underlying pathogenesis and the lack of valid parameters. One of our research focuses is the investigation and establishment of diagnostic markers.
