Bacteria and fungi produce many substances and even electricity that are useful to humans. We show you the long way from the isolation of a new microorganism from nature to the pure active ingredient and electrical energy.

We provide an insight into our research with mold fungi. You will learn how to work with mold in the laboratory and understand the language of microorganisms.

We will show you how we combine traditional biological methods with computer analyses to investigate the effects of nutrition on our intestinal flora.

Discover the diversity of the human microbial community and how to explore it.

Yeasts that live in our bodies can cause serious illnesses. Here you can see how we humans protect ourselves against them!

We would like to show you how we are delving deep into the past to find new stone-age molecules with antibiotic effects. We lack these in the fight against known and new pathogens, especially against multi-resistant germs.

mRNA vaccines have already changed our world once and are likely to do so again. At this station, you will explore the new RNA drugs and even try to "design" your own RNA as a remedy against a human pathogenic fungus.

We are fighting the antibiotics crisis with Robo-Power. Visit our unique robotics platform JenXplor!
