Professor Jörg Vogel (Würzburg, Germany) has been announced as the President of the European Academy of Microbiology (EAM) from 1 January 2021. Prof Vogel will take over from Prof Philippe Sansonetti, the former President of the Academy since 2012. He thanked and acknowledged his predecessor and stated his intent to “continue to promote microbiology as a field of study and recognize excellence within its practice”. Vogel also outlined his vision to “work to grow the size and reputation of the Academy” and emphasized the importance of international scientific cooperation. Vogel is a German microbiologist in the field of RNA biology, and is the Founding Director of the Würzburg-based Helmholtz Institute for RNA-based Infection Research (HIRI), a site of the Helmholtz Centre for Infection Research (HZI). He also directs the Institute of Molecular Infection Biology (IMIB) of the Medical Faculty at the University of Würzburg in Bavaria, Germany, and has been a member of the EAM since 2015.

Scientists at TWINCORE have succeeded in identifying two factors that protect liver cells of mice from infection with the hepatitis C virus (HCV). These are Cd302, a lectin, and Cr1l, a complement receptor-like protein. The research outlined in this study lays the foundation for the future development of a mouse model for HCV vaccine research. The results are published in the journal Science Advances.

Rasterelektronenmikroskopische Aufnahmen der isolierten Prevotella-Spezies

News

The digestive tract is densely populated with bacteria and other microorganisms. This intestinal microbiota helps the host utilise nutrients. Particularly plant fibres can only be broken down and absorbed with the help of intestinal bacteria. The composition of the microbiota is dynamic and depends, among other factors, on the diet. Scientists at the Helmholtz Centre for Infection Research (HZI) in Braunschweig have shown that the utilisation of the fibre arabinoxylan enables bacteria of the genus Prevotella to play a dominant role in the microbial ecosystem. For the study, the Braunschweig researchers cooperated with the Max Planck Unit for the Science of Pathogens in Berlin. The scientists published their results in the journal Cell Host & Microbe.

Scientific data suggests that many COVID-19 cases are not recorded due to mild and asymptomatic courses of infection. It is therefore not possible to reliably estimate the number of people who have actually been infected or are still infected with SARS-CoV-2. Furthermore, there is not yet sufficient data on how many people in Germany have already been infected and thus built up a presumed immunity to SARS-CoV-2. However, this data plays an important role in assessing and forecasting the further course of the pandemic. With this in mind, the Helmholtz Centre for Infection Research (HZI) in Braunschweig is conducting a nationwide project in the district of Reutlingen. The project aims to improve the knowledge about the actual spread of infections with SARS-CoV-2 and the corresponding immunity in different population groups in Germany over time.

The Helmholtz Centre for Infection Research (HZI) in Braunschweig is establishing a new Helmholtz Institute in Greifswald, which shall bring together the individual competencies in the field of molecular infection research of the University of Greifswald, University Medicine Greifswald and the Friedrich-Loeffler-Institut in one joint institute of the HZI. The financial means for setting up the Institute - 23 million euros for the new building and more than 35 million euros for the initialisation phase - have now been allocated by the Federal Government and the State of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern. In Greifswald, Prof Katharina Riedel is coordinating this initiation phase as provisional founding director.
