From block course to cooking class. July 2018 In the block course they were simply known as the Nirvanas. Twenty years on, in a cooking class, their hair now short, yet each slipped back into his old role. The Biozentrum…


Who am I? How cells find their identity

The origin of every cell of our body is a single cell, the fertilized egg. On the way to become a specialized cell, whether blood, heart or nerve cells, its descendants follow a genetic program. This program determines the…


Rapid fluctuations drive complex gene regulation in bacteria

Bacteria may be small, but they have a remarkable ability to adapt. They colonize a wide variety of habitats – from the human gut to hot springs – and respond with great flexibility to changes in their environment. One…


Why antibiotics can fail even against non-resistant bacteria

In certain infectious diseases, antibiotics are less effective than expected, as seen in infections caused by Salmonella bacteria, which can lead to illnesses such as typhoid fever. For many years, researchers believed that…

Interview with Karolin Berneiser Inspired by a colleague’s experience, Karolin Berneiser applied for the Biozentrum PhD Fellowships program. She is not only enthusiastic about the interdisciplinary and international research…


Inner “clockwork” sets the time for cell division in bacteria

The ability of pathogens to multiply in the host is crucial for the spread of infections. The speed of bacterial division greatly depends on the environmental conditions. Under unfavorable conditions, such as nutrient…
