ABOUT CPI

The Cardio-Pulmonary Institute (CPI) is the excellence cluster funded by the German Research Foundation „DFG“ to better understand cardio-pulmonary diseases and find new treatments.

With the CPI we plan to go substantially beyond already established structures with the vision that „precision biology drives precision medicine“.
