Annual flu vaccines protect against severe infection, but they vary in efficacy and may not match the most virulent strains of the season. The reality of a universal flu vaccine, which would protect people from all strains, and ideally longer than a single season, remains elusive. This major roadblock is addressed by the INCENTIVE consortium, which is funded by the European Commission and coordinated at the Helmholtz Centre for Infection Research (HZI) by Prof. Carlos A. Guzman. Findings published in the Journal of Virology suggest that universal flu vaccines are coming closer.

A key focus at the Helmholtz Centre for Infection Research (HZI) and its sites like the Helmholtz Institute for Pharmaceutical Research Saarland (HIPS) is translating research findings into medical and pharmaceutical applications. Beyond scientific collaboration, the goal is to facilitate the transfer of technology and knowledge into practical and potentially commercial uses. Recently, the company MyxoTech has been founded as a HIPS spin-off. MyxoTech CEO Peter Sullivan explains what the new company is about and what it wants to achieve.

Yesterday, the lighthouse project of the state of Lower Saxony reached its latest milestone: At the second portfolio conference of the Institute for Biomedical Translation (IBT) Lower Saxony, a high-caliber jury selected projects from the Helmholtz Centre for Infection Research and the Hannover Medical School that will receive funding of over 1.6 million euros. A total of 25 million euros are available to the IBT Lower Saxony until 2028 to accelerate the transfer of cutting-edge research in the life sciences in Lower Saxony and to bring it out into the world in the form of startups and entrepreneurial ideas.
