HZI Podcast: How viruses spread – Mpox, transmission immunology and global health
In May 2022, alarming headlines emerged: A mysterious and deadly disease was spreading in Central Africa. Was this the beginning of a new pandemic? Today, we know that it was Mpox (formerly known as monkeypox), a viral disease that has once again been declared a public health emergency. In this episode of the HZI podcast Infact, Dr Julia Port, head of the research group “Laboratory of Transmission Immunology” at the Helmholtz Centre for Infection Research (HZI), discusses virus transmission and the role of the immune system. Her research bridges immunology, viral ecology, and global health.

Research team develops active substance against germ that destroys the cornea of the eye
Infectious keratitis blinds 1.5 million people worldwide every year. This severe eye disease is often caused by the hospital germ Pseudomonas aeruginosa, which the World Health Organization considers one of the most dangerous bacteria of its kind. Now, scientists at Saarland University and the Helmholtz Institute for Pharmaceutical Research Saarland (HIPS) have found a way to combat this resilient pathogen. Their study has been published in Advanced Science. The HIPS is a site of the Helmholtz Centre for Infection Research (HZI) in collaboration with Saarland University.
