The cooperation between research hospitals is becoming increasingly important for successful implementation of clinical studies. The Clinica Trials Unit (CTU) provides all services for efficient multi-center studies to clinical researchers at the Kantonsspital St.Gallen.

The Kantonsspital St.Gallen is a founding member of the Swiss Clinical Trial Organisation (SCTO) and the CTU is one of the national competence centers in the CTU Network of the SCTO. More

The Institute of Immunobiology conducts applied basic research in various fields of immunobiology. We investigate the involvement of stromal cells in the development of lymphatic organs and the influence of these cells in the development of tumors and their functions in the defense against infectious agents. In addition, we develop and evaluate new vaccination approaches for the treatment of cancer and investigate how immunotherapeutic approaches can be further improved. These research approaches are pursued in the research groups Immunobiology and Experimental Dermatology. The newly established Neuroimmunology research group investigates inflammatory processes in diseases of the central nervous system. The staff of the Laboratory Management and Administration unit are responsible for the smooth implementation of this research work.

The Institute of Immunobiology has close academic ties with the University of Zurich. Prof. Dr. Flatz is a full member of the Medical Faculty of the University of Zurich. Prof. Dr. Ludewig is adjunct professor at the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences of the University of Zurich and is affiliated with the Institute of Experimental Immunology. More

The Laboratory of Neuroimmunology studies the immunological processes involved in inflammatory reactions in the brain. This research will provide the basis for an improved understanding of the pathological changes in the nervous system in multiple sclerosis. Further projects will investigate the chronic inflammatory reactions of patients suffering from multiple sclerosis. More

The Laboratory for Experimental Oncology is part of the Clinic for Medical Oncology and Haematology and is integrated into the Medical Research Center. Our work covers a wide range of translational cancer research topics related to the development of new treatment strategies, including the use of approved drugs for new indications. The clinical relevance and potential applicability for the patients is always strategically decisive, with the aim of letting the new findings directly benefit the patients in clinical studies.
