"Diffusible Signals in Microbiome Interaction" is the title of the public symposium of the LOEWE project of the same name, on September 12, from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m., at Pilipps University Marbu
Under the title "Diffusible Signals in Microbiome Interaction", the LOEWE research cluster of the same name invites you to a symposium at the Philipps University in Marburg on September 12.
Participants will be welcomed by Prof. Dr. Bernd Schmeck, Head of the Respiratory Infections Section at Marburg University Hospital and spokesperson for LOEWE-Diffusible Signals.
The speakers are Prof. Dr. Till Strowig from the Helmholtz Centre for Infection Research, Braunschweig, who will talk about "Microbial context-dependent competition between enterobacterales", Dr. Sébastian Boutin, from the University of Lübeck, whose lecture title is "One-year longitudinal analysis of the meta-transcriptome of the CF lung microbiome" and Prof. Dr. Christoph Reinhardt, from the University Medical Center Mainz, who will deal with the "Gut microbiota as a regulator of the Hedgehog pathway".
After a coffee break, the event will continue with a lecture by PD Dr. Marius Vital, University Medical Center Hannover, entitled "Short-chain fatty acids from the gut microbiota". Prof. Dr. Alexander Visekruna, University of Marburg, will follow with his lecture on "Modulation of the immune system by microbial metabolites". Prof. Dr. Bernd Schmeck will give the closing remarks.
LOEWE Symposium: "Diffusible Signals in Microbiome Interaction", on September 12, from 11 am to 5 pm, at the Philipps University of Marburg, SYNMIKRO lecture room, Karl-von-Frisch-Straße 14, Marbug Lahnberge
The event is open to the public. All presentations will be held in English.
Bacterial infectious diseases are among the most common causes of death worldwide. This is particularly problematic because antibiotic resistance is making the most important drugs against infectious diseases increasingly ineffective.
It also appears that the development and progression of infectious diseases, as well as protection against them, are much more strongly influenced by the interaction of bacteria with each other and with human cells than previously assumed. The aim of the LOEWE research cluster Diffusible Signals is to decipher precisely these diffusible signals at the interfaces of microbe-host interaction under physiological and pathological conditions and to derive medical benefits from them. "Diffusible Signals" successfully combines the complementary research areas of microbiology and infection biology with bioinformatics, biochemistry and biophysics. The LOEWE research cluster is led by the University of Marburg, with the Justus Liebig University Giessen and the Max Planck Institute for Terrestrial Microbiology in Marburg as partners.
