#Inno4Vac 1st annual meeting brings together 30 members of MERMAID from 17 organisations & 8 countries in Siena. During these days partners will focus on the development of a roadmap for successful applications of our novel human in vitro 3D mucosa models & assays.🤝🏻 #EUfunded

We are excited to share our newest publication from Dr. Vollmuth! She and her colleagues identified a mechanism which prevents chlamydial replication and induces persistence. c-Myc plays a key role in IFN-γ-induced persistence of Chlamydia trachomatis doi.org/10.7554/eLife.…

GRK 2157 retreat in Berlin. Plenty of science and fun.

We had a fantastic symposium bringing together #biofabrication and #infection. Spectacular presentations throughout, kudos to the great organizing team 👏 TRR225Biofab 3D Infect @RVZ_Wuerzburg

A great day for infection biology in Würzburg! Collaborative research Center "DECIDE" approved by the DFG! A big Thank You to everybody who made this happen. See crc-decide.de for more information!

📽️📽️Movie available: PhD students of the TRR225Biofab “#Biofabrication” and the 3D Infect "3D Infect" research group have organized an amazing joint international symposium "Biofabrication meets Infection", on the 23 – 25.11.22 @RVZ_Wuerzburg vimeo.com/794066563

Call for applications! The CRC DECIDE is offering 19 fully funded Ph.D. and 9 fully funded postdoctoral positions in disciplines regarding single-cell seq, tissue models or mass spectrometry and microscopy. For more infos visit crc-decide.de

We are very happy to share with you our review on interactions of Chlamydia trachomatis with the human host. Just out in Nature Reviews Microbiology.

Congratulations to our members Sonja-Verena Albers Sonja-Verena Albers, Thomas Rudel Rudel Lab and Volker Müller, Frankfurt on their election as Fellows to the American Academy of Microbiology !👏🎇🏅
