We are happy to announce that our germ-free #mouse facility is now online and working. More #experiments will start soon. In the meanwhile check out this video. Our Dottore Alessia will tell you all about it. mdr.de/video/mdr-vide…

The Microbiome talks were a great way to close the #Candida 2021 meeting. We all enjoyed it quite a lot!

Further support to fight pathogenic fungi: TRR 124 FungiNet receives funding from DFG public | @[email protected] for a third period. Scientists from Peter W, @Uni_Wue and the @Leibniz-HKI will expand and deepen research on infection mechanisms and new therapy options.

We're looking forward to four more years of exciting and important research on human pathogenic fungi with our partners in TRR 124 FungiNet Universität Jena Universität Würzburg #UniWürzburg DFG public | @[email protected] 🎉

Metabolic change: Non filamentous Candida albicans mutant is still highly virulent. Great work in a great team TRR 124 FungiNet by first author Christine Dunker Microbial Immunology, Universität Jena, Ilse Jacobsen, Thomas Dandekar Universität Würzburg #UniWürzburg and @swidergall_lab. nature.com/articles/s4146…

Unique PhD opportunity! As a researcher within the collaborative research centre-FungiNet you will have the chance to do top quality microbiology research and closely interact with bioinformaticians, image analysts and proteomics specialists. Apply now!

Today we had our annual Day Out for the first time since Corona. It was great to just have some fun for a change. You are a great team and I am happy to be a part of it.

The Leibniz-HKI and kuenstlerische_tatsachen worked hard to fuse #science and #art together. The exibition can now be seen at Trafo here in Jena. Our group collaborated with #MasamiSaito to create some unique intestinal microbiota sculptures. Go check it out.

My PhD Project just became a carped. Thanks to #AndreaGarciaVasquez from kuenstlerische_tatsachen Microbial Immunology

Today at the #DmykG2022 we have several talks from our group about #Candida albicans and #Health. Here our boss Ilse talks about new insights into candidiasis in mice.

Ever wondered how your #diet changes the ammount of #yeast in your gut? Today at the #DmykG2022 our #PhD Merle explains how sugar increases fungal burden in mice.

Last Talk of the day at #DmykG2020 again from our group. Our PhD Wibke talks about #Candida albicans colonization in mice with different #microbiota.
