The Pulmonary Pathology research team at the MHH, with its 15 members, deals intensively with tumor diseases, alterations in the lung occurring in various diseases, and also with pulmonary hypertension. Linking clinically relevant issues with the morphology of tissues and the molecular pathology of the lung is the main focus of the research. 

From the main research topics

- Morphological and molecular characterization of the non-small cell
  bronchial carcinoma (Project Leader: Dr. Florian Länger),
- Fibrotic remodeling and experimental pathology of the lung (Project Leaders:
  PD Dr. Danny Jonigk and Dr. Florian Länger) and
- Pulmonary hypertension (Project Leader: PD Dr. Danny Jonigk),

a number of continuing national and international projects and cooperations have been established at BREATH, in which, among other things, fresh tissue from explant recipient lungs is used in interdisciplinary projects to find an answer to diverse issues.
