Exciting topics, interestingly presented: Every first and third Thursday (except during school holidays), RESIST scientists or top-class researchers from external institutions present their topics at the RESIST seminar series.
Attend these exciting seminars of the Cluster of Excellence RESIST, as a member of RESIST or as a colleague or student.
On 26 March 2026 at 1:00 p.m., Dr. Max Josef Kellner, Research Group Leader, Laboratory for Virus-Host Co-Evolution (VICO), HZI, will give a lecture with the title “Accessing the Inaccessible: Using Organoids to Model Host–Virus Interactions at the Animal–Human Interface”.
In the Laboratory of Virus–Host Co-evolution (VICO), we consider the dynamic interplay between hosts and their viruses as a process of co-evolutionary adaptation that shapes infection outcomes. In particular, we are fascinated by natural reservoirs and their ability to host viruses that are pathogenic to other species, including humans. Our group aims to determine the genetic basis of disease resilience and uses organoid models as a physiologically relevant and genetically tractable research system.
The lecture will take place in Lecture Hall Q, Building J01 of the Hannover Medical School.
