We are not alone!👽 But the topic of the new episode of our podcast #InFact is not aliens, but the microbiome. HZI researcher Dr. Lisa Osbelt from Till Strowig's department explains, among other things, what commensal bacteria would do with the last piece of cheese at the buffet. 🎧 Enjoy listening! https://lnkd.in/e5Ur9uci

We're happy to announce the launch of Young AcademiXX - a new program at HIPS designed to support and empower female scientists in building their academic careers. 👩🔬✨🚀 The transition between postdoc and own research group is a critical point in the career path of young female scientists. With the Young AcademiXX program, we specifically support excellent young female researchers in successfully mastering this step. We're excited to introduce Dr Chantal Bader, the first candidate of Young AcademiXX. Get to know her experiences as a Young AcademiXX researcher and how the program has advanced her career in the interview linked below! ⬇️⬇️⬇️ https://lnkd.in/e8Yw-Zp5

EMBL, with the Institut Pasteur, The Laboratory for Molecular Infection Medicine Sweden, MIMS, the Helmholtz Centre for Infection Research, and the Wellcome Sanger Institute, has launched a new funding initiative called ‘Amplifying Funds in Infection Biology’ to strengthen interdisciplinarity and collaboration in infection biology in Europe. The co-funding is intended for research groups from these specific partner institutions to bring together different expertise. Successful applications will include at least one EMBL partner and at least one collaborator from these specific organisations that are providing fund matching. Each project will investigate vital aspects of infection biology, such as pathogen-specific protein machines, host-pathogen interactions at different scales, human genetics influencing infection susceptibility, and innovative approaches to combat antimicrobial resistance. Application deadline: 25 October 2024 Further information: https://lnkd.in/ePtna_FJ
