Science Talk "Wissen angezapft!" with EMTHERA spokesperson Maike Windbergs

The new Goethe University Science Talk series is going to start soon: Wissen angezapft!

Wissen angezapft! is about research and people - their breakthroughs and failures, success and frustration, but also about what drives them to push the boundaries of knowledge.

The Science Talk will take place in the evening in a relaxed atmosphere in a pub or café and is aimed at anyone who would like to find out more about the exciting fields of research.

If you are interested to learn more about EMTHERA spokesperson Maike Windbergs' work on carrier systems that deliver drugs to their target site in the body, come and join the

In nearly four decades, P. Cossart and her group using several multidisciplinary approaches and cutting edge technologies have unveiled an impressive number of sophisticated mechanisms used by the bacterial pathogen Listeria monocytogenes to survive in the environment and/or infect mammals. Their results have led to a series of new concepts in fundamental microbiology- in particular RNA mediated regulation-, in infection biology, in cell biology and also in epigenetics, paving the way to the understanding of thre basis of many other infections. An historical perspective with most striking findings will be presented.
