Infection Immunology
Leader
Priv-Doz Dr Eva Medina
In our lab, we are searching for the Achilles’ heel of major hospital germs. If we could find a way to interfere at this point, we might be able to incapacitate the bacteria without actually killing them in the hopes that we might halt the development of resistances.

Eva Medina studied biology at the University of Seville in Spain and received her doctoral degree in 1990 at the Medical School of Seville. During her post-doc period at the Immunology Department of the Royal Free Hospital School of Medicine in London and the Trudeau Institute in New York, she studied the host reactions to Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection.
In 1997 she moved to the HZI, GBF at that time, to the Department of Microbial Pathogenesis and Vaccine Research. She has led the research group Infection Immunology at the HZI since 2004.
