Our department “Innovative Organoid Research” leverages advanced technologies to deepen our understanding of host-pathogen interactions. Our focus is on utilizing organoids, which are three-dimensional models that accurately mimic human organs. These organoids, produced with high reproducibility and scalability thanks to state-of-the-art robotic systems, ensure consistency across experiments and enhance our capacity for larger studies.
\nThe organoid models developed at HZI are versatile, enabling us to complexify studies by incorporating various cellular components for a more accurate simulation of human tissues. This approach is essential for studying infections, testing vaccines, and developing new therapeutic strategies. A substantial part of our research involves using effector proteins to explore host-pathogen interactions. These proteins are crucial in influencing host cellular functions to favor pathogen survival and proliferation.
\nThrough these innovative approaches, our department aims to bridge the gap between basic research and clinical application, providing new insights into disease mechanisms and potential treatments.<\/p>\n<\/div>
