Junior Research Groups at the ZINF

A core component of the ZINF has been the promotion of YOUNG SCIENTISTS and offering them a unique entry into their own scientific career. Research of the independent ZINF junior groups covered in the period of this report focuses on organoids as new infection models, high-throughput technologies to study the mode of action of antibiotic combinations, regulatory RNA molecules in anaerobic pathogens and in the microbiome, structural biology of mycobacteria, as well as the role of the microbiota in fungal infections.
