🔬✨ Yeast, bright colors, and a dash of curiosity
Together with @microverse.bsky.social, we welcomed 34 students for this year’s “Forsche Schüler” Day. Hands on experiments from yeast to data driven research offered insights into real lab work.

Old toxin, new twist 🍄🔬
Muscarine is a well-known mushroom toxin, but how fungi produce it has long been misunderstood. Researchers from @uni-jena.de and our institute revised a nearly 50-year-old model of its biosynthesis.

Interdisciplinary collaboration is a top priority at our institute – exemplified by the research group FUSION, combining robotics & genetics to explore Fusarium.🍄
The team aims to uncover new antifungal strategies & identify promising drug candidates.

We’re proud to contribute to current #Tuberculosis research – from discovering BTZ-043 to advancing it towards a potential new treatment.
On #WorldTBDay, we also honour the foundations: We named a seminar room after pioneering microbiologist Ruth Ella Moore, whose work also advanced TB research.
Robotics meets genetics 🤖🧬🍄
Two junior research groups are FUSIONing their expertise to explore Fusarium, a fungus with two faces: a threat and a treasure trove for new therapeutics.
