Direct access to desired genes
Targeted exchange of DNA segments instead of tedious search: German and Chinese scientists have developed a technique for the direct isolation of genetic information from complex mixtures of different bacteria. Compounds produced by bacteria can often be used as…
HZI awards young infection researchers
For the second time, the Helmholtz Centre for Infection Research (HZI) in Braunschweig and the Friends of the HZI support young scientists with an award in memory of the former Scientific Director of the HZI, Professor Jürgen Wehland. The Jürgen Wehland Prize includes…
Prizewinning cellular systems for faster drug validation
Dr. Tobias May was bestowed the Otto von Guericke Prize of the German Federation of Industrial Research Associations (AiF) on 12 June. The biochemist, who worked at the Helmholtz Centre for Infection Research before he became director at InSCREENeX GmbH, received the…
Experts on Interferon meet in Braunschweig
Vitally important and always ready for action: Interferons are essential components of the immune system. These proteins and their role in viral defense will be the focus of the 6th International Workshop “Interferon and Infection” at the Helmholtz Centre for Infection…
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…
