Dr Berit Lange
Acting Head of Department
+49 531 6181-3110

Berit Lange is a physician and epidemiologist. After studying medicine in Freiburg, Madrid, Chile and Peru, she worked for several years in Infectiology and Internal Medicine at the University Hospital Freiburg. In 2013, she graduated with a Master of Science in epidemiology from the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine (LSHTM) and returned to the University Hospital of Freiburg after a postdoctoral period at the Infectious Disease Epidemiology at LSHTM. Between 2016 and 2019, she was responsible for the core module and the epidemiology course of a newly established Master's programme (Global Urban Health) at the University of Freiburg. From 2017 to 2019, she also led a research group on infectious disease epidemiology and global health there, in addition to her clinical work in Infectious Diseases.

In May 2019, Berit Lange took over the Clinical Epidemiology team in the Department of Epidemiology at the HZI.  Her work focuses on better understanding the spread and burden of disease caused by respiratory infections and evaluating measures to reduce the burden of disease. To do this, she uses multicentre clinical and population-based cohort studies, surveillance data, evidence synthesis and infection modelling.

In March 2023, she additionally took over as acting head of the Epidemiology Department.

Berit Lange is elected Deputy President of the German Society of Epidemiology for 2023 and 2026 and President for 2024 and 2025. She has been spokesperson for the Modeling Network for Serious Infectious Diseases since November 2022 and has been responsible for epidemiology on the TBNet Steering Committee since 2017.
