About the Project. Control of parasitic infections in grazing livestock is under severe strain from drug resistance and climate change, and new approaches are urgently needed. Read more
Project Summary: Invasive infections by Mucorales fungi are life-threatening complications of severe blast trauma. Mucorales are resistant to most antifungals and cause devastating infections, yet are poorly understood. Read more
Concrete is one of the World’s most ubiquitous materials. It has achieved this through its versatility, durability and low cost. However, the manufacture of a key ingredient - Portland cement – contributes 4% of anthropogenic CO2 emissions. Read more
Fungi have beneficial but also detrimental properties. They are used for the production of foodstuffs and valuable pharmaceuticals and enzymes. Read more
Mycorrhizal symbioses are one of the most extensive and important biotic interactions in terrestrial ecosystems, typically providing plants with improved access to nutrients in exchange for carbohydrates produced via photosynthesis. Read more
Pathogenic fungi are responsible for illness and death across the globe. Diseases are caused by known, remerging and new fungal pathogens, highlighting the need for advancing therapeutics. Read more
Expected start date. Late September 2023. Bark beetles (family Scolytidae) are important components of forest ecosystems with certain species being pests that may cause significant loss to the forestry sector. Read more
Microorganisms contained within a biofilm are much more resistant to desiccation, mechanical removal and the action of biocides and detergents. Read more
Fungal infections affect billions of people, including >1.5 million global deaths each year. Our failure to achieve cure against fungal infections results from the high levels of tolerance and resistance to antifungal drugs in clinical fungal isolates. Read more
Job Advertisement. Leibniz-HKI-27/2023. The Leibniz Institute for Natural Product Research and Infection Biology (Leibniz-HKI) investigates the pathobiology of human-pathogenic fungi and identifies targets for the development of novel natural product-based antibiotics. Read more
Agriculture is reliant on the chemical control of insect pests and fungal pathogens to ensure crop productivity. However, in recent years there has been an increase in resistance to chemical control amongst pest populations, leading to a loss of efficacy of previously effective control measures. Read more
