The University Hospital Bonn (UKB) is one of Germany's leading university hospitals, combining top-level performance in medicine and research with excellence in teaching. In 2024, the UKB raised nearly €100 million in third-party funding for research, development, and teaching. Our research focuses on bacterial and sterile inflammation-driven cardiovascular disorders, particularly calcific aortic valve stenosis and infective endocarditis. The project is funded by the DFG (Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft) and benefits from the network of the DFG-funded Transregional Collaborative Research Center TRR259 “Aortic Disease,” which unites groups at the Universities of Bonn, Cologne, and Düsseldorf. * Present and discuss research results at relevant national and international conferences
