Beschreibung

:
Discover personalized medical solutions for environmentally triggered diseases to promote a healthier society in a rapidly changing world.

The Department for Comparative Microbial Analyses aims at identifying key microbiota, which trigger our health to develop strategies to promote the abundance of those microbiota in urban and indoor environments.

The human microbiome is a key component for our health.

It is strongly influenced by environmental microbiota, which interact with the microbiome of barrier organs like skin or respiratory system.

As a consequence, the reduced microbial diversity in the environment, resulting from climate
- and global change, strongly impacts human - environment interactions, resulting in an increase in environmental diseases and infections. According to the planetary health concept the prevention of such diseases requires strategies which increase biodiversity in the environment. We identify key microbiota from the environment, which trigger our health, develop strategies to promote the abundance of those microbiota in urban and indoor environments and analyze consequences for our health.

Scientific Employee / Researcher EU Project "MICROBE" (f/m/x

Full time

Neuherberg near Munich

Postdocs

Responsibilities:

The EU project "MICROBE" aims to improve the availability of important microbial isolates for the scientific community. To achieve this, strategies will be developed to identify and isolate key organisms from complex samples.

Therefore, based on molecular analyses of microbiomes from environmental and human samples, keystone taxa will be identified using bioinformatics tools and their genomes will be reconstructed in silico.

Based on this information, strategies for targeted cultivation will be developed and the new isolates will then be further characterized.
