Current seminar schedule for the seminar "Current Topics in Microbial and Molecular Biology"

We congratulate Dr. Marco Krewing received the GdF prize for excellent interdisciplinary dissertations at RUB during the Academic Celebration on November 24th 2021. 

This is how the superbug Pseudomonas aeruginosa reacts to antibiotics

The bacterium is resistant to all antibiotics on the market. Therefore, there is a great need for new therapeutic approaches.
