Experts discuss antibiotic-resistant pathogens at the HIPS Symposium.

Story

This year's HIPS symposium on 27 and 28 June focused on the fight against antibiotic-resistant pathogens. On the occasion of the tenth anniversary of the HIPS, the expert audience had two days to inform and exchange information about the latest results in the field of antibiotic research.

The CRISPR-Cas system is in the spotlight for its ability to precisely modify the DNA of human cells. The system is derived from bacteria that use it to protect themselves from invading viruses. Prof. Peter Fineran studies bacterial CRISPR-Cas systems, including their regulation, at the University of Otago in New Zealand. He has received a Humboldt Research Fellowship for Experienced Researchers and is currently visiting the Julius Maximilian University of Würzburg (JMU) and the Helmholtz Institute for RNA-based Infection Research (HIRI), a joint institution of the Helmholtz Centre for Infection Research (HZI) in Braunschweig and JMU.

The accumulation of hazardous waste during manufacturing of complex pharmaceuticals is a serious environmental concern. Typically, it takes several synthetic steps and requires flammable, organic solvents to produce structurally complex compounds. Starting from renewable lignocellulose (woodchips), researchers from the University of Groningen and the Helmholtz Institute for Pharmaceutical Research Saarland (HIPS) have devised a surprisingly simple catalytical method for this purpose that only requires two or three steps and generates water as the only waste. The scientists reported their process in the journal ACS Central Science.

Mammalian cells have highly specialized defence programs to protect themselves from invading pathogens. To do this, the cells change the expression of their genes; previously inactive genes are switched on or active genes are no longer expressed. Genes encode the blueprint for making proteins. If a gene is expressed, this information is first converted into RNA (ribonucleic acid) before protein production begins. However, not all RNA transcripts are templates for protein synthesis. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have many similar properties to protein-coding messenger RNAs, but are not translated into proteins. Instead, lncRNAs interact with DNA, RNA and proteins and thereby regulate various cellular functions. Since July 2019, Dr. Mathias Munschauer's Helmholtz Young Investigator group “Long non-coding RNA and Infection Biology” at the Helmholtz Institute for RNA-based Infection Research (HIRI) investigates the function of lncRNAs in the host defence against pathogens. The HIRI is a joint institution of the Helmholtz Centre for Infection Research (HZI) in Braunschweig and the Julius Maximilian University of Würzburg (JMU). Munschauers Young Investigator group is the eighth research group at HIRI, which was founded in 2017.
