Our lab works towards a systems understanding of pathogen transmission: integrating host, pathogen and environmental aspects.
We combine patient cohorts with novel technologies to have an innovative translational research setting. In vitro and in vivo data is further used in computational models.

Congrats to Janis for Best 3MT! ⏰
Our PhD student Janis won the "My Thesis in 180s" award at the Annual Meeting of the Swiss Society of Microbiology (SSM) in Montreux! Congratulations to Janis, he successfully defended Zoey's win last year and delivered a great pitch with fantastic drawings (have a look!!) and analogies.
Booh to the climber E.coli with the PapGII tool! Yay to the tourist E.coli, coming and going peacfully!
The bar is set high for Egli PhDs to also win next years competition, so fasten your seatbelts, get ready and stay tuned! 🏎️
People coming, people leaving 🚶♂️
September brings lots of changes: one farewells, three new faces, and three returns!
- Goodbye to our bioinformatician Chumei, who will endeavour on doing a PhD in Christian von Mering's group. Congratulations and all the best! 🎊
- Hello to our new Sinapic Acid Army members: intern Sofia will measure Klebsiella isolates on MALDI (normal and sinapic acid) and do DNA extraction, medical thesis student Dorian will create a sinapic acid based library for selected gram positive bacteria, medical thesis student Anna Sophia will test the sinapic acid MALDI method in an neonatal klebsiella outbreak setting. May your Chief Yuki lead you to success on the field!
- Welcome back to our former intern Annalisa, who will now work part time in parallel to her studies, and PhD Elisa, who returns after a 6 months research stay in Melbourne, and former BSc thesis student Araney, now returning for the Sinaptic Acid Army too.
Congrats to Elisa for Best Poster Prize 🏆
We congratulate Elisa Sosa (PhD candidate) who is currently abroad for a research exchange at the University of Melbourne. She has won the best poster award at the annual Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre Symposium with her research on the gut microbiome after allogeneic stem cell transplantation. Excellent work Elisa!
Welcome Isabel and Sophie!
This month, we are delighted to welcome two new members to the AMR group.
Isabel joins us as an intern for one month. We are very pleased to have her with us and look forward to supporting her as she gains insight into the group’s ongoing research activities.
We also warmly welcome Sophie, who is starting her medical dissertation with us. Over the next year, she will be working on the MALDI sinapic acid project. We are excited to have her join this project and look forward to her contributions.
A very warm welcome to both of you. We wish you a great start and an inspiring and productive time in the AMR group!
