Meet our lab: Three questions for our scientist Christina Malainou, PhD. 🔬✨ What is she currently researching, what drives her – and a personal look behind the scenes. Thank you, Christina! To kick off our new series, we're introducing the people behind our research.

…and don’t miss the Editorial by Jay Mizgerd an Elise Armstrong 😊 jci.me/201457/pdf

“But we can fight back. The biggest lesson the four of us have learned over this past year is that what feels impossible and overwhelming when you’re sitting by yourself can begin to feel achievable and urgent when you are working with others that share your values.“ 🧪

Charlie Kirk war nicht „rechtskonservativ“. Er war in den letzten Jahren dem Spektrum des White Nationalism zuzuordnen, ein Faschist und offen rechtsextrem, hat gegen BPoC und LGBTQ Menschen gehetzt, ein radikaler Sexist obendrein. Man kann seine Ermordung verurteilen ohne ihn zu verharmlosen.

6/6 Fazit: Die Streichung der Leistungsgruppe Infektiologie ist ein schwerer fachlicher und gesundheitstpolitischer Fehler. !!! Wer es mit moderner, effizienter und sicherer Patientenversorgung ernst meint, muss diese Entscheidung korrigieren. #KHAG #Infektiologie !!!

Paper Alert by Trauth et al Researchers from the University of Giessen & Research Center Borstel evaluated the use of the BPaL regimen as a rescue/bridging therapy to manage intolerable side effects of the standard HRZE regimen in patients with drug-sensitive TB. www.atsjournals.org/doi/10.1164/...

Congratulations, Dr. Theresa Schäfer! Theresa successfully defended her PhD thesis, “The Impact of GM-CSF on Lung Epithelial Cell Injury and Repair in Severe Influenza Virus Pneumonia.” We are proud to celebrate this milestone with you! #PhDDefense #MedicalResearch #InfluenzaResearch #LungHealth

We had a blast welcoming eager junior scientists yesterday at our walk-in lung model at the Street of Experiments! Visitors enjoyed exploring and had a great time solving a quiz all about how our lungs are built and how they work. Thanks to everyone who stopped by and got curious with us!

Visit us today at THM Giessen 🫁 and enjoy the walk-in lung 🙌

Herausragender Erfolg in der #Exzellenzstrategie: Gleich drei #Exzellenzcluster für die #JLUGiessen – #Herz-#Lungen-, #Batterie- und #Wahrnehmungsforschung konnten im Wettbewerb überzeugen @cpi-exstra.bsky.social @heroldlab.bsky.social @dfg.de @wissrat.bsky.social www.uni-giessen.de/de/ueber-uns...

Great news - thanks to the whole CPI team for all your dedication to finally make this possible 🎊 I am honored and looking forward to the next 7 years of great science on 🫁 and ❤️!

Being an Adjunct Professor at Northwestern Pulmonary and Critical Care for many years, I am deeply dismayed about the illegal funding cuts there and at other universities. In support of our friends and colleagues, and for our patients: This has to stop!Thanks Ben for raising awareness! #ATS2025

Really excited to see our story on the role of cell type–specific efferocytosis of alveolar macrophages published 🎊 www.science.org/doi/10.1126/... Big thanks to all collaborators, particularly to Ully and Julian @cpi-exstra.bsky.social @ilh-lunghealth.bsky.social @heroldlab.bsky.social

TIPP🆕Die Sonderausgabe Exzellenz der PROLOEWE-NEWS➡️https://proloewe.de/de/aktuelles/nachrichten/exzellenz-proloewe-news-sonderedition/ @unimarburg.bsky.social @synbio.bsky.social @synmikro.bsky.social @jlugiessen.bsky.social @goetheuni.bsky.social @m-grininger.bsky.social @susanneherold.bsky.social

Vor allem wäre die konkrete Ausgestaltung der im Gesetz bereits verankerten Leistungsgruppe Infektiologie essentiell. Gerade im Hinblick auf die angestrebte qualitative Verbesserung und Effizienzsteigerung der stationären Versorgung wäre dies absolut prioritär. ⚠️

We had the pleasure to welcome the next generation of scientists. The day was filled with hands-on learning in the lab and exciting conversations. The girls were so inspired that they are already planning to come back for an internship! Can’t wait to see where their passion for science takes them!

Sneak peek at the walk-in lung model. The @cpi-exstra.bsky.social (CPI) will provide this model, a unique, immersive experience that makes your lung function, disease, and prevention tangible. Image: www.organmodelle.de #StreetOfExperiments #LungHealth #ScienceFestival #CPI #MedicalResearch

Save the Date & Walk Down the Street of Experiments with Us! We invite you to visit our tent, where you can step inside a walk-in lung model! Find more details here: 🔗 www.mathematikum.de/veranstaltungen/strasse-der-experimente We look forward to seeing you there!

Out now in @thelancetinfdis.bsky.social our study demonstrates that the MVA-BN (Imvanex/Jynneos) vaccine is safe & effective against mpox, but a single dose does not sufficiently protect people living with #HIV. Thank you @ema.europa.eu for support www.thelancet.com/journals/lan... 1/7

"We can and should question whether these symptoms are indeed caused by vaccines, and it isn’t “medical gaslighting” to say they may not be — it’s good medicine, albeit requiring care, nuance, and humility in the clinic." www.statnews.com/2025/03/03/p...
