The researchers shared their latest findings and explored opportunities for joint collaborations through discussions and networking sessions. The workshop showcased the complementary expertise and technologies at both HZI and CSSB, sparking new ideas to tackle pressing challenges in the field of infectious diseases. For example, Robert Geffers from HZI presented the “Genome Analytics” platform, which he heads, with all its possibilities and offers for scientists from the HZI and partner institutions. Meytal Landau and Fabio Strati from CSSB informed the audience about their latest findings on the antimicrobial effect of amyloids, which are otherwise more associated with Alzheimer's disease.
This event facilitated scientists at both HZI and CSSB in connecting the two multi-site/multi-partner hubs, thereby enhancing the collaborative network and access to state-of-the-art technologies.
