In the focus of research at the Chair of Microbiology are pathogenicity mechanisms of different microorganisms such as Neisseria gonorrhoeae, Chlamydia trachomatis, Bordetella pertussis and Staphylococcus aureus.

Host-pathogen interactions, pathogen-induced host cell apoptosis, the interface of infection and cancer as well as systems biology of antibiotic action are of peticular interest.

It was great to attend a fantastic Chlamydia Basic Research Society conference in Omaha! Excellent science and nice people! We are locking forward to host the CBRS 2025 for the first time outside of the US - in Berlin! https://t.co/rHVbm9IBC2
