Live and let die
A protein called c-FLIP-R is critical to immune cell survival: If this molecule is missing, the cells kill themselves – and are thus no longer able to perform their job fighting off invaders. Now, scientists at the Helmholtz Centre for Infection Research (HZI)…
HZI to award young infection researchers
As in the previous years, the Helmholtz Centre for Infection Research (HZI) in Braunschweig and the Friends of the HZI are going to honour an excellent young researcher in the field of infection biology. The award was established in 2011 in memory of the former…
Anja Karliczek visits Helmholtz Institute for Pharmaceutical Research Saarland and Saarland University
In the presence of the Federal Minister and the Prime Minister, the University President and Managing Director of the HIPS signed a memorandum of understanding. The aim of the research alliance is to promote partner initiatives that work on medically and…
Secure and intelligent use of patient data
Every day, researchers around the world collect patient data from blood samples, X-rays or gene analysis. They intend to use this data to develop new treatments for common illnesses such as dementia, cancer or infarctions. The secure and efficient evaluation of this…
GARDP announces partnership with Calibr, HZI/HIPS and the University of Queensland in search for new antibiotics
With few antibiotics in development since the early 1990s, antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a major and rapidly growing global health challenge that is already making previously easy to treat infections harder to treat. Approximately 700,000 people worldwide die of…
10 Jahre HIPS: Feierliches HIPS-Symposium am 27. Juni 2019 in Saarbrücken
Verbunden durch das gemeinsame Ziel, neue Strategien und Wirkstoffe zur Bekämpfung von Infektionskrankheiten zu entwickeln, wurde das HIPS im Jahr 2009 von drei Arbeitsgruppen der Universität des Saarlandes (UdS) in enger Zusammenarbeit mit dem HZI in Braunschweig…
Inhoffen Medal 2019 awarded to chemist Phil Baran
“HZI and Technische Universität Braunschweig celebrate the award of the Inhoffen Medal which is given in recognition of world-leading research in the field of total synthesis of natural agents. In just a short period of time, Phil Baran has revolutionised the synthesis…
Klaus Faber endowed professorship for substance bioinformatics officially launched
Taking over the endowed chair means Olga Kalinina is working at the interface of two research focal areas in Saarland: Natural substance and drug research with a focus on antibiotic development at the HIPS, and bioinformatic modelling of drug molecules and their…
Important mechanism of antigen presentation in immune system guard cells deciphered
The immune system is a highly efficient surveillance system that immediately takes action when, somewhere in the body, a cell signals that it is infected. A key mechanism of immune defence is based on cells carrying special receptors on their surfaces, which can display…
Eliminating hepatitis C viruses effectively
Some 400,000 people around the world succumb to the consequences of a hepatitis C infection each year. The hepatitis C virus is usually transmitted by blood. An infection can remain undetected for long periods of time, because the disease initially progresses largely…
