EMBO leadership course on #negotiation skills.

#vaccineswork - it‘s important to educate people. Vaccinations are an important part of public health. These figures are striking; it’s a pity that many people don’t know them and prefer to listen to non-scientific sources instead.

As resistance to tuberculosis (TB) drugs grows, international experts have developed clinical standards for antimicrobial stewardship in TB care, setting a new framework for responsible, effective, and sustainable treatment of the disease. @fzborstel.bsky.social #Tuberculosis #TB #AMR

Wir zeichnen ganz bald die neue Staffel MAITHINK X für euch auf und wollen dieses Mal über das sehr wichtige Thema ME/CFS sprechen. Hier ein Aufruf, dem ihr gerne folgen könnt, wenn ihr das mögt. Oder markiert einfach Personen, von denen ihr wisst, dass sie etwas dazu zu sagen haben. Danke euch! 🙏

Mehr über den Einsatz von #Organoiden in der #Infektionsforschung erfahrt ihr in dieser Folge unseres Podcasts #InFact mit Kristin Metzdorf, stellvertretende Leiterin der HZI-Abteilung "Innovative Organoid-Forschung". infacthzi.podigee.io/27-mini-orga...

That really sounds like a learning adventure!

The University of Vienna awards at least 20 four-year and full-time (40h/week) postdoctoral positions to outstanding female scientists in natural sciences, life sciences, and economics.

mRNA Vaccines are real game changers!

Even when you think the immune system is well studied, there is still new stuff to learn!

Human Papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine is highly effective. The vaccine protects against the high-risk HPV types 16 and 18, which cause most cervical cancers and have been shown to be safe and effective in preventing HPV infection and #CervicalCancer

Good news to start the year with!

Multiresistente #Keime leben oft unbemerkt auf unserer Haut. Für Gesunde harmlos, doch bei schwachem #Immunsystem droht Gefahr. Das HZI forscht dagegen an neuen #Wirkstoffen, erklärt Mark Brönstrup in unserem Podcast #InFact. #Weltantibiotikawoche #WAAW2025 infacthzi.podigee.io/3-neue-antib...

Die stille #Pandemie der #Antibiotikaresistenzen schreitet voran: Krankenhauskeime entwickeln nun auch #Resistenzen gegen Reserveantibiotika. Kleinste Mutationen können Tigecyclin & Colistin wirkungslos machen. via @pharmazeitung.bsky.social #WAAW2025 www.pharmazeutische-zeitung.de/so-passt-sic...

#Polio-Wildviren können zu #Kinderlähmung führen. Laut @rki.de wurden nun in einer Hamburger Abwasserprobe Wildviren vom Typ 1 nachgewiesen. Das @sciencemediacenter.de befragte dazu u.a. HZI-Epidemiologin Carolina Klett-Tammen, um den Fund einzuordnen. www.sciencemediacenter.de/angebote/pol...
