SFB 1535 MibiNet "Microbial networking – from organelles to cross-kingdom communities"

In nature, microorganisms interact and communicate with one another, exchanging nutrients and information, an active process we call "networking".

MibiNet aims to understand microbial networking in its full complexity to explain how organelles evolve and how the microbiome functions.

International Top-Level Research: MibiNet Collaboration Receives Prestigious Funding

A prime example of successful international collaboration is the recently granted research funding by the Human Frontier Science Program (HFSP). The project "1+1=1: Bioengineering synthetic symbiosis to illuminate how a microalga becomes an endosymbiont," led by Dr. Johan Decelle (CNRS-CEA Grenoble, France), Dr. Daniel Ducat (Michigan State University, USA), and Dr. Dietrich Kohlheyer (Forschungszentrum Jülich GmbH), was selected from a multitude of high-caliber applications.

It is particularly gratifying that this collaboration was initiated through Daniel Ducat's stay as a Mercator Fellow in the MibiNet network at Heinrich Heine University (HHU). This highlights the importance of the MibiNet network as a catalyst for fostering long-term international research partnerships.

The funding, amounting to $ 400,000 per year over three years, enables the team to conduct groundbreaking research in the field of synthetic symbiosis.

MibiNet Guest Talk by Ferran Garcia-Pichel

What drives the microbiome in the desert? Exciting insights from visiting scientist Prof. Dr. Ferran Garcia Pichel from Arizona State University at the MibiNet Seminar.

Congratulations Khaled!

We are very happy for Khaled Selim! His Emmy-Noether application has been approved. It is a fantastic achievement and a great gain for research in cyanobacterial metabolism.
