It is noteworthy that research in inflammation and pain is actively pursued in many laboratories at the University of Frankfurt. Research activities of these groups focus on various diseases and organs involved in inflammatory diseases and cover the entire value chain of drug discovery from target identification up to clinical trials (see Fig. Division I). Thus, the academic aims of the division on inflammation and pain within FIRST are to incorporate this scientific expertise into the education of excellent young scientists. We will address the adverse role played by inflammation in the etiology of some of the most prevalent diseases in our society, and explore "drug-able" targets and potential therapeutic interventions. Although significant progress has been achieved in identifying key mediators of inflammation, we still lack information how mediators interact. Medium to long-term goals are to provide PhD and MD/PhD students with innovative scientific background in the area of inflammation and pain, by teaching a translational approach.
