The UKR University Hospital founded in 1992, is available teaching and research purposes of the medical faculty of Universität Regensburg. Areas of research are immunopathology and immunotherapy, integrated functional genomics as well as transplantation medicine, among others.
With a Case Mix Index of 2,0, the University Hospital ranks at the top of university clinics in Germany.

Besides teaching, Universität Regensburg is also very actively involved in research, as shown by six special research areas supported by the German Research Society (DFG), DFG Research Units, graduate schools and its participation in research initiatives and EU projects, among others. Very close ties within as well as between the areas of research – university and non-university – are a typical feature of Universität Regensburg. The university is well set up for a dialogue between sciences and industry with FUTUR, an interdisciplinary service facility for knowledge and technology transfer.
