COMBINE MARV Project

🦠 What do Influenza, Rabies, Ebola and Marburg virus have in common? 💡 They are all zoonoses!

We want to take #WorldZoonosesDay as an opportunity to promote understanding of the key terms when talking about zoonotic diseases.

#combineMARV #MarburgVirus #PandemicPreparedness #Virology

In COMBINE her team is responsible for carrying out the Marburg virus infections in a BSL-4 lab, providing the essential samples and groundwork for the identification of MARV cell signatures.

🧪 Meet Nadine Biedenkopf 🤝

@biedenkopflab.bsky.social is a junior group leader at the Institute of Virology at the @unimarburg.bsky.social.

📢 New findings help scientists understand how viruses enter host cells in unprecedented detail!

💬 “The methodology we have developed to investigate the virus entry process can be applied to many other viruses,” says @christian-7.bsky.social.

#combineMARV #MarburgVirus #PandemicPreparedness #Virology #InfectiousDiseases

In COMBINE three groups from HZI are contributing to different work packages of the project.

1️⃣ identification of proteins within the virus host interface,
2️⃣ screening of antivirally active small molecules,
3️⃣ cell biology of virus infection.

🦠Meet Christian Sieben 🤝

@christian-7.bsky.social is our project coordinator in COMBINE and leading a young research group at @helmholtzhzi.bsky.social, Germany's largest state research institution addressing global challenges in infectious diseases.

🦠 Meet the #combineMARV partners! 🤝

📆 Over the coming weeks all our consortium partners will introduce themselves to you & explain their role in COMBINE.

#MarburgVirus #PandemicPreparedness

💉This week marks #EuropeanImmunisationWeek.

🦠In COMBINE we strive to strengthen #PandemicPreparedness by advancing our understanding of virus host-cell interaction & cellular uptake mechanisms, using #MarburgVirus as a model, and developing novel inhibitors & vaccine candidates against #MARV.

❕ Great news! We launched our website! 🦠

🔗 Visit combine-marv.eu to learn more about our project, objectives, and the great minds behind #combineMARV.

👀 Stay tuned for more news!

#MARV #MarburgVirus #EUresearch

🌍 The #combineMARV project brings together a multidisciplinary research team of 7 partners from 5 countires.

🦠 Together, we seek to improve #PandemicPreparedness by developing an innovative experimental pipeline for identifying & targeting proteins involved in the virus attachment process.

We are excited to introduce you to the #combineMARV project! 🦠

🔬 This #EUfunded project sets out to advance our understanding of virus cell entry, using the #MarburgVirus as a model – a critical cornerstone of #PandemicPreparedness.
