On 23 January 2024, State Secretary Judith Pirscher from the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) visited the Helmholtz Centre for Infection Research (HZI) in Braunschweig. She gained an insight into the current research program and the recently launched large-scale project "Microbial Stargazing - Research into Resilience Mechanisms of Microbes and Humans" (MICROSTAR for short), which is headed by the new Scientific Director of the HZI, Prof Josef Penninger.

To combat viruses, bacteria and other pathogens, synthetic biology offers new technological approaches whose performance is being validated in experiments. Researchers from the Würzburg Helmholtz Institute for RNA-based Infection Research and the Helmholtz AI Cooperative applied data integration and artificial intelligence (AI) to develop a machine learning approach that can predict the efficacy of CRISPR technologies more accurately than before. The findings were published today in the journal Genome Biology.

News

Modern pharmaceutical research generates large amounts of data faster than ever before. To analyze and evaluate this data, it is collected and structured in extensive databases and thus provides the basis for the development of new active ingredients. Researchers at the Helmholtz Institute for Pharmaceutical Research Saarland (HIPS) have now published two such databases. While the "ABC-HuMi" database focuses on genetic data from microorganisms that colonize humans, "ZEBRA" provides a high-resolution cell atlas of the human and mouse brain. Both databases were published in the annual database issue of the journal Nucleic Acids Research.

Despite the end of the pandemic, COVID-19 continues to pose a serious health threat. Most individuals have established robust immune protection and do not develop severe disease but the infection can still lead to marked and sometimes long-lasting disease symptoms. In the late summer of 2023 a new SARS-CoV-2 variant emerged, BA.2.86 (Pirola), which, based on genetics, differs markedly from all previously circulating variants.

News

From 13 to 17 November 2023, 28 young scientists gathered at BAYER in Berlin to take part in the Winter School for Translational Medical Research and Drug Development organized by ENLIGHT-TEN+ and EATRIS. Experts from science and industry provided in-depth insights into the basics of drug production and introduced the young scientists to the processes through interactive exercises and case studies. BAYER is a member of the ENLIGHT-TEN+ consortium and was primarily responsible for organizing the Winter School.
