World Day for Laboratory Animals and Alternative Models
On the World Day for Laboratory Animals April 24, 2023, special attention is paid to the use of animals for research and development of products for humans. In drug research, among other areas, extensive animal testing is a firmly prescribed part of the approval process for new drugs. However, a reduction in the number of laboratory animals is increasingly in sight due to new approaches. At the Helmholtz Institute for Pharmaceutical Research Saarland (HIPS), a site of the Helmholtz Centre for Infection Research (HZI) in collaboration with Saarland University, researchers are successfully developing alternative models and have already received awards for their work.

Soil Bacteria - A Microbial Treasure Chest
In their search for new substances that are effective against infectious diseases, researchers at the Helmholtz Institute for Pharmaceutical Research Saarland (HIPS) are extracting natural substances from soil bacteria. They are getting help from the public in the course of a citizen science project, which this year recruited citizen scientists from all over Germany on board the exhibition ship “MS Wissenschaft”.

Mpox/Monkeypox - What the HZI experts say
Since mid-May 2022, several countries where mpox/monkeypox is not endemic have reported an accumulation of infections with the monkeypox virus. Cases have also been diagnosed in Germany, as of May 2023 around 3700 infections were recorded. Researchers at the Helmholtz Centre for Infection Research (HZI) are contributing their expertise to assessing the current situation and informing the public.

New drugs from fungi
HZI researchers traveled to Yaoundé, Cameroon, for a workshop on the collection, culture and identification of fungal strains. A new research hub will strengthen natural product research in fungi in the country.
