Das IUF – Leibniz-Institut für umweltmedizinische Forschung untersucht, durch welche molekularen Mechanismen Partikel, Strahlung und ausgewählte Umweltchemikalien die menschliche Gesundheit schädigen. Die vier Hauptarbeitsrichtungen sind umweltinduzierte pulmonale Alterung, Hautalterung, Störungen des Nerven- und Immunsystems. Durch die Entwicklung neuartiger Modellsysteme arbeitet das IUF daran, die Risikoabschätzung zu verbessern und neue Strategien zur Prävention / Therapie umweltinduzierter
