Schwarzer Lab

Our newest lab member Luisa Betke switched to us from the Fleischhauer lab. Her work will initially focus on the quantification of HIV reservoir size and transcriptional activity in clinical samples…

Nneoma Confidence Anyanwu joins us for a three-month lab exchange funded by DFG and TWAS; she’ll be exploring the role of miRNAs in HIV persistence.

Eva presented “The Role of Lipids in HIV Persistence” and Roland spoke about “Mechanisms of HIV Latency”.

Paula Brennecke will explore Type I interferons in HIV persistence, while Nahara Souza Leite will investigate the regulation of TRIM5α expression by HERVs.

We received three years of funding for Orthohantavirus research.

Together with the labs of Thomas Effert and Kathrin Sutter, our study on a new coronavirus entry inhibitor was published in Biomedicine & Pharmacotherapy.

Two talks by Hannah and Eva at the 2nd Symposium on HIV Immunology, Vaccines and Cure Approaches organized by our institute.

Eva gave another oral presentation at the 3rd annual Virus Biology and Biophysics Network in Braunschweig…

Our newest study on the cell biology of Orthohantavirus infections is online as a preprint… exciting to see how Puumala virus remodels infected cells.

Recognition from the Medical Faculty for the CD73 paper in Cell Reports — another testament to her scientific excellence…

Lisa Weber joins the team for her Master’s project dealing with antivirals.

Maria returned for a six-week internship after her Bachelor project in our lab.

Yasmin joins as our newest Bachelor student contributing to Eva’s project.
