Kerstin Fischer

Dr. Kerstin Fischer serves as a Researcher at the Institute of Novel and Emerging Infectious Diseases (INNT), part of the Friedrich-Loeffler-Institute (FLI) in Greifswald, Germany. She is affiliated with the National Reference Laboratory for Crimean-Congo Haemorrhagic Fever (CCHF) and collaborates on multiple international research initiatives focused on high-consequence pathogens and biosecurity.

Her research centers on emerging zoonotic diseases, with specialized expertise in viral hemorrhagic fevers—particularly Crimean-Congo Haemorrhagic Fever—biosecurity protocols, and veterinary public health systems. She investigates diagnostic development, vaccine research, and laboratory capacity building for proliferation-critical pathogens across global contexts.

Dr. Fischer actively contributes to significant research projects:

• AA Ukraine IV: Strengthening biosecurity for animal disease pathogens
• AA Sub Sahara IV: Building veterinary laboratory capacity in Mauritania
• Reduction of biological proliferation risks in Tunisia
• EBOSURSY: Enhancing viral hemorrhagic fever diagnostics in Cameroon
• CCHFVaccine: Development of a Crimean-Congo Haemorrhagic Fever vaccine
• ISIDORe: Integrated services for infectious disease outbreak research

No scientific awards or student advisement details are mentioned in available materials. Her work directly supports the National Reference Laboratory for CCHF, where she engages in diagnostics, research, and international capacity strengthening efforts.
