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.

AMR Awarness week - Mystery pathogen quiz
Guess the Pathogen: In diesem Ratespiel kannst du dein Wissen in Mikrobiologie auf die Probe stellen, indem du fünf für antimikrobielle Resistenz (AMR) relevante Krankheitserreger erraten sollst. Diese Bakterien sind dafür bekannt, Antibiotikabehandlungen zu widerstehen und stellen besondere Herausforderungen im Gesundheitswesen dar.
Guess the Pathogen: In this game, you’ll put your microbiology knowledge to the test by identifying five AMR-relevant pathogens. These bacteria are known for their ability to withstand antibiotic treatments, posing unique challenges in healthcare settings.

Welcome Ana Gabriela!!!
We are very pleased to welcome Ana Gabriela from Colombia. Ana will spend a year in the lab to pursue her bachelor's thesis and internship, she will work heavily on the AMREvo project with Elisa.
Observerships @AMRlab
We recently had a super motivated high school student, Caroline, doing a 2 weeks observership with us. Caroline followed our technicians, got a good insight into how a microbiology lab works, learned different techniques, methods and machines and impressed us all with her curiosity and proactivity... We hope we could strengthen that spark that she has. Hopefully, we have another encounter with her as a future Biology student! :D
If you are a high schooler, interested in (micro)biology, and eager to get a real-life insight into how things work in a research group, feel free to contact us!
