Institute for Clinical Chemistry and Laboratory Medicine of the University Medicine Greifswald

Description

The Institute of Clinical Chemistry and Laboratory Medicine (IKCL) is an integral part of Greifswald University Medicine. The university was founded in 1546, making it one of the oldest university institutions in Germany. The Institute is closely involved in patient care at the University Medical Center and neighboring institutions. In addition to haematology, haemostaseology, clinical chemistry, special clinical chemistry, allergen and antibody determinations, molecular biology and patient-oriented immediate diagnostics, its tasks also include special areas such as newborn screening for Mecklenburg-Vorpommern. It cooperates with the Institute of Microbiology, the Department of Transfusion Medicine and the Neurology Clinic, with which it jointly operates the interdisciplinary cerebrospinal fluid laboratory.

Student training and the training of medical-technical laboratory assistants (MTLA) play a major role in the Institute’s range of tasks. The institute is also authorized to provide further training for specialists in laboratory medicine and clinical chemists. One of the IKCL’s research focuses is epidemiological research, and the IKCL is also heavily involved in the German Center for Cardiovascular Research and has played a leading role in establishing an efficient scientific infrastructure for clinical studies.
