The German Research Foundation (DFG) is funding the DEEP-DV research group for another four years with a total of €5.3 million. This marks the second phase of the successful work of the interdisciplinary group, which includes scientists from Braunschweig, Hamburg, Hannover, Berlin, Regensburg, Ulm, Freiburg, and Munich. DNA viruses such as herpes viruses and polyomaviruses can remain in the body permanently after an initial infection and cause serious health consequences years later.

A recent study led by the Centre for Individualised Infection Medicine (CiiM) and the Radboud University Medical Center published in Genome Biology shows that BCG vaccination does more than fend off tuberculosis - it leaves enduring chemical marks on immune cells that boost responses to various pathogens. Researchers also uncover hormone‑immune crosstalk and sex‑specific effects that could guide next‑generation, individualised vaccine design.

Infections in the brain can have serious consequences and are often fatal. The immune defense system works differently here than in the rest of the body. A team of researchers at TWINCORE – Centre for Experimental and Clinical Infection Research in Hanover – has now discovered, in collaboration with partners, which signaling pathways play a central role in communication between immune cells in the brain in their defense against viruses. The results have now been published in the Journal of Neuroinflammation. The TWINCORE is a joint institution of the Helmholtz Centre for Infection Research (HZI) in Braunschweig and Hannover Medical School (MHH).

Story

Natural substances are an important source of active ingredients used in medicine. However, the chemical diversity of fungi in particular has not yet been sufficiently researched. The EU project Mycobiomics, coordinated by Marc Stadler, Head of the Department “Microbial Drugs” at the Helmholtz Centre for Infection Research (HZI), is investigating the biodiversity of fungi in Europe, Asia and Africa in order to identify pharmaceutically valuable secondary metabolites. In May and June 2025, project participants met in Kenya and South Africa for an expedition and a subsequent symposium.

The One Health Surveillance team from HIOH receives the award for “Best Research Environment 2024”.

News

Excellent conditions for research, an inspiring atmosphere and fair cooperation: for all this, the research group “One Health Surveillance” (OHS) at the Helmholtz Institute for One Health (HIOH) has been awarded the “Best Research Environment 2024” prize by the Junge Akademie. Under the leadership of Dr. Fee Zimmermann, the OHS group is establishing health and environmental observatories, so-called “One Health Exploratories”, which collect long-term and systematic data on the health of humans, animals and the environment and integrate it into a big picture. The HIOH is a site of the Helmholtz Centre for Infection Research (HZI) in Braunschweig in cooperation with the University of Greifswald, the University Medicine Greifswald and the Friedrich-Loeffler-Institut.
