Research at Grein lab

Bacterial Interference: Within the DZIF research group “Bacterial Interference”, we exploit the human gut microbiome as a source for novel decolonization agents. Advanced cultivation techniques such as co-cultivation of several bacteria or supplying bacteria with growth factors, in particular under anaerobic conditions, are applied to exploit this resource for novel compounds. Impact of antibiotics on the spatio-temporal organization of the cell wall biosynthesis machinery: Within the transregional collaborative research center TRR 261 “ANTIBIOTIC CellMAP”, we study the impact of antibiotics on the spatio-temporal organization of the cell wall biosynthesis machinery together with the group of U. Kubitscheck (Institute of Physical and Theoretical Chemistry).
