My group @aps-hki.bsky.social is looking for a new postdoc in immunology of fungal infections focusing on vulvovaginal candidiasis. Please contact me for further details in case of interest.

We are incredibly proud of Kar On Cheng for winning the best presentation award at the 28th Symposium: "Infection and Immune Defense". She presented her doctorate project on IL-36 and its role in inflammation during RVVC. Congratulations Kar On!!!

Final highlight of #rothenfels2025: Kar On Cheng of @aps-hki.bsky.social receives the 1st BD presentation award for her beautiful talk on IL-36 functions in recurrent vulvovaginal candidiasis (RVVC) 👏🏻👏🏼👏🏾congratulations🎉well deserved an looking forward to hearing about your work in the future👩🏻‍🔬📄

Congrats 🎉 to @evanowack.bsky.social for this great work👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻Thanks for letting us be part of it!! #ManchotFoundation #MOI_IV

And keynote speaker of day 2 Karsten Hiller of @tubraunschweig.bsky.social is giving us a deep dive into immuno metabolism in macrophages: #itaconate rules ✌🏻🤓 #Rothenfels2025

Day 2 of the study group Infection Immunology Meeting at #Rothenfels2025 features the traditional afternoon walk ☀️😎- perfect for discussing data and networking at saturated oxygen levels 😬

Fascinating evening🌇keynote given by David @sancholab.bsky.social on how the gut microbiome trains the immune system inside the bone marrow🦴 and how its metabolites impact atherosclerosis 👏🏻

Great opportunity to kick-start this 🦋bsky account: Back at #Rothenfels2025 for our yearly meeting of the @dgfi-org.bsky.social and #DGHM study groups for infection immunology🦠🧫🔬 - great talks and fresh🌟data presented mostly by our aspiring junior researchers👩🏻‍🔬🧑🏽‍🔬👨🏼‍🔬 already at the first day.
