Phages are important sources of biotechnological tools and can be used to combat bacterial infections. Phages have the potential to help overcome the ongoing crisis of multidrug-resistant bacterial pathogens. Research in the Hör lab focuses on understanding the molecular mechanisms of phages with RNA genomes during infection, host takeover, and anti-phage defense. Bacteria use defense mechanisms to protect themselves against phage infection.
The Helmholtz Institute for RNA-based Infection Research (HIRI) is offering a Postdoctoral position in “Bacterial immunity against RNA phages” in the research group Molecular Principles of RNA Phages under the direction of Jun. Prof. Jens Hör.
The Helmholtz Institute for RNA-based Infection Research (HIRI) is the first institution of its kind worldwide to combine ribonucleic acid (RNA) research with infection biology. HIRI is a site of the Braunschweig Helmholtz Centre for Infection Research (HZI) in cooperation with the Julius-Maximilians-Universität Würzburg (JMU) and is located on the Würzburg Medical Campus.
