We are saying goodbye to X. 👋 To stay true to our values, we’re now sharing our research and news on #Bluesky. Follow us there bit.ly/4jYnItF, on LinkedIn bit.ly/4jQ7z9L or Mastodon bit.ly/3EEPw6f.

We hope everybody had a good start into the new year! 🎆✨️ We are excited to announce that we had three (!!) successfull PhD defenses shortly before christmas! We all are unbelievably proud 🥹❣️- congratulations to Dr. @jlspragu, Dr. Sophie Austermeier, and Dr. Rita Pforte!!!

Proud to share that I successfully defended my #PhD #thesis on mathematical modeling and stochastic simulations applied to biomedical data. Many thanks to my research group @AppSysBio and the @LeibnizHKI. Grateful for this challenging time and excited for what is coming next!

Special Thanks for the christmas picture to @sarahvielreich from @LeibnizHKI: The co-incubation of the fungus Candida albicans and the bacterium Serratia marcescens on an agar plate to investigate cross-kingdom interactions revealed festive structures after long-term incubation

The 4th out of 4 publications honored with the 2024 medac Research Award shows that the endosymbiotic fungus Rhizopus microsporus depends on the bacterial metabolite F0 for sporulation. Read more in @ISMEJournal: doi.org/10.1093/ismejo…

"We are hiring!" "We" = @AppSysBio @LeibnizHKI @jenalichtstadt "are" = from now to Jan 6, 2025 - do it asap "hiring" = #Postdoc #Computational #Biology All information here: jobs.hki-jena.de/jobs/Postdocto… Among many applications we received, we did not find yours! Be quick!

The 3rd out of 4 publications honored with the 2024 medac Research Award shows how a novel gut-on-chip model simulates C. albicans infection and reveals how caspofungin alters fungal microcolony morphology and reduces pathogenicity. More in @Biomaterials_: doi.org/10.1016/j.biom…

👏The first out of 4 publications honored with the 2024 medac Research Award uncovered how #Ece1 controls the release of #candidalysin in Candida albicans, enabling fungal infections. Read more in @NatureMicrobiol: nature.com/articles/s4156…

🎉Happy to announce the #medac Research Award 2024 has been presented to 4 great papers at @LeibnizHKI! Huge thanks to medac GmbH for supporting teamwork in infection research. Stay tuned for more on each winning study! leibniz-hki.de/en/press-relea…

Job alert! We have an open technician position in our lab @LeibnizHKI, please spread the word! jobs.hki-jena.de/jobs/Technisch…

Researchers @microverse_exc @Leibniz_IPHT @LeibnizHKI present in a recent study in @newphyt how the green alga #Chlamydomonas reinhardtii adapts not only its shape but also its metabolism under natural conditions without changing its genome.

Thanks to all participants and visitors of #LNDWJena 🌃 at the #LeibnizHKI It was a pleasure for us. We look forward to the next #LNDWJena 2026 👨‍🔬 👩‍💼 . Here are some impressions.

Science is still on the road at the #LNDWJena 🌠🌛 🔬. You can visit the #LeibnizHKI until Midnight. 📍Location: Hermann-Löns-Straße 70, 07745 Jena 🕛 Date: Tonight
