Paul Ehrlich Institute

The Paul-Ehrlich-Institut (PEI) is the Federal Institute for Vaccines and Biomedicines. As a federal regulatory authority active in the field of pharmaceuticals, its work is in the service of public health. The PEI examines and evaluates the benefits and risks of human biomedical and immunological veterinary medicinal products as part of clinical development, marketing authorization and post-marketing follow-up. Indispensable for the tasks of the PEI is its own experimental research. The PEI reports to the Federal Ministry of Health.
