Cellular Proteome Research

Pathogenic bacteria and viruses utilize and manipulate cellular processes of our immune system. The identification of protein functions in the human immune system that decisively control the progression of infections constitutes the central aim of the research group Cellular Proteomics at the HZI.

Systems Immunology

To see the immune system with the eyes of mathematics – that is the guiding principle of the department Systems Immunology. Mathematical models help to faster and better understand diseases that are associated with immune functions. Read here how scientists use mathematics to investigate chronic inflammatory diseases, the regulation of adaptive immune responses, and the interaction between the nervous, the endocrine and the immune system.

HUMAN MICROSTAR

The director’s vision HUMAN MICROSTAR Each human being forms an individual ecosystem that is exposed to a variety of different influences throughout its life, affecting current and future health as well as susceptibility to pathogens. Exposure to microbes…

Central Facility for Microscopy

Light microscopy and electron microscopy are excellent high resolution tools to investigate the adhesion and invasion mechanisms of pathogenic bacteria. High resolution electron microscopy permits to examine and unravel pathogenicity mechanisms on a morphological basis. ZEIM offers equipment and highly sophisticated expertise for the preparation and observation of biological samples.

Universal Flu Vaccine Candidate Protects Against Infection in Animal Models

Researchers at Cleveland Clinic’s Lerner Research Institute and the HZI have reported that their universal flu vaccine candidate elicited a strong immune response and provided protection against severe infection and rapid clearance after viral exposure in ferrets. This…
