Our mission is to teach Microbiology and Immunology at all levels, to perform cutting edge research and to promote Microbiology and Immunology by collaborative interactions with local and international partners.
The National Academy of Sciences recently announced the election of new members and international members. One of the awardees is Julia Vorholt, Professor of Microbial Physiology at the D-BIOL's Institute of Microbiology.
In a recent PLOS Biology article, the Vorholt group (IMB) together with the Hardt (IMB) and Sellin (Uppsala University) labs report the direct placement of the bacterial pathogen Salmonella into the cytosol of enteroid cells, enabling spatiotemporal analysis of host-pathogen interactions.
