Check out our newest publication by @Marisa_Valent in collaboration with @RosatiDiletta in Nijmegen! They investigated how lactic acid modulates #Candida albicans immunogenicity in vulvovaginal candidiasis. 👉 doi.org/10.1080/215055…

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

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!!!

🤝A warm welcome to #Microbiologist Prof. Dr. Sarela García-Santamarina. She is adding a new facet to the @UniJena and @LeibnizHKI research profile with the newly founded Deep Microbiome Metabolomics department.👩‍🔬🦠

👏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…

👏The 2nd out of 4 publications honored with the 2024 medac Research Award shows that synthetic polymers effectively fight Candida albicans when combined with antifungal drugs, even resistant strains! The study reveals a multi-target approach that could revolutionize treatments.

The #lndw is ongoing and we are having a blast!!! Come by the @LeibnizHKI ! 👉 Location: Hermann-Löns-Straße 70, 07745 Jena We are here until midnight! 😊

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

Tonight it's finally time again!🔬🌠 At the #LNDWJena you can learn exciting things from the world of microbiology. The #LeibnizHKI team is waiting for you! 📍 Location: Hermann-Löns-Straße 70, 07745 Jena 📅 Date: Tonight 🕒 Time: 6 PM – Midnight

Wer in den Gegend ist: Schaut mal beim Leibniz-HKI in Jena bei dieser coolen Veranstaltung vorbei 👇

Come and visit our lab tomorrow at the #lndw! We will show you lots of cool microscopy pictures and videos 🎆, fancy fungal agar plates 🍄, and you can win "magic mushrooms" in a dart game! 🎯 @LeibnizHKI @UniJena @jenalichtstadt

We present our research about light-based technologies, fighting infectious diseases and future pandemics at our 6th project meeting of the @LPI_Jena today. Looking forward to reaching further milestones! @BMBF_Bund @uniklinik_jena @UniJena @LeibnizHKI @Leibniz_IPHT #Biophotonics

🦠 Candida parapsilosis poses a rising threat in hospitals. @AmeliaBarberPhD|s team developed a fast, cost-effective method to identify drug-resistant strains—key for better control. Study in @LancetMicrobe. #FungalInfections #Healthcare @LeibnizHKI

"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… or upon request: [email protected]

Come by next week to visit our lab! 🦠🍄 We will show you adorable microscopy pictures, you can play multiple games (for kids and adults), and even win something! 😍
