About this programme
The Master's programme in "Microbiology and Infection Biology" will give you an excellent insight into the multifaceted world of microbes, providing fundamental knowledge in microbiology and infection biology, cutting-edge research in renowned laboratories and a high number of hands-on courses. The Master's programme in Microbiology and Infection Biology is run by the IMIT (Interfaculty Institute of Microbiology and Infection Medicine), which covers the research areas microbial physiology, microbial compounds and infection biology . Physiological research focuses on the molecular basis of cellular processes in bacteria, the mechanisms of adaptation to changes in the environment and symbiotic interactions. Various IMIT research groups are working on the molecular processes of natural product biosynthesis and on the mechanisms by which they inhibit the growth of bacterial pathogens. Infection biology research focuses on staphylococci, the most common cause of nosocomial infections, and gastrointestinal pathogens. Another focus is the microbiome, including its capacity to prevent infections as well as its impact on drug metabolism and human health.
