experimental virology

The Leibniz Institute of Virology (LIV) is a non-profit, independent research foundation that has been part of the Leibniz Association since 1995.

The LIV’s research is partly funded by the Federal Ministry of Health (BMG) and the combined research funding by the Länder, which is represented by Hamburg’s Ministry of Science, Research, Equality and Districts (BWFGB). Significant funding is also acquired through competitive bidding from national research programmes, private foundations and the industry.
