The annual World Antimicrobial Resistance Awareness Week (WAAW) is a global campaign to draw attention to the dangers of antimicrobial resistance (AMR). It also aims to inform people about behaviors that can reduce the occurrence and spread of drug-resistant infections. The WAAW is celebrated every year from November 18 to 24. The motto in 2024 is “Educate. Advocate. Act now.”.

The Helmholtz Institute for Pharmaceutical Research Saarland (HIPS) is growing: In the past three years, the institute – a site of the Helmholtz Centre for Infection Research (HZI) in collaboration with Saarland University (UdS) – has appointed five professors together with the UdS. To further strengthen the focus on active ingredients at the Saarbrücken campus, the university has filled two additional professorships in this field. To ensure that the researchers have adequate laboratory and office space, several construction projects are planned that will provide space for 330 researchers by 2029. The structural expansion is financed by federal and state development funds totaling 55.7 million euros.

Our immune system successfully defends itself against pathogens on a daily basis - often without us realizing it. We notice other encounters with pathogens through cold symptoms, fever or a red, swollen area. Our immune system is then working at full speed. Prof. Kathrin de la Rosa wants to be one step ahead of the pathogens. Since 2024, she has headed the department “Personalized Immunotherapy” at the Centre for Individualized Infection Medicine (CiiM) - a joint institution of Hannover Medical School and the HZI. In the HZI podcast InFact, she reports on how she wants to improve individual defense mechanisms in people whose immune system cannot cope with the pathogen on its own and explains why she is copying tricks from nature.
