The newly established HUMAN program (Human Microbe Alliance for Universal Health) (www.helmholtz-hzi.de/human-microstar), is seeking professionals to join and work on understanding the complex interplay of humans and microbes in the fight against infectious diseases, recruiting early-career scientists to develop independent programs committed to research excellence, translation, and DEI (diversity, equity, inclusion).
Research and technology areas of particular interest include, but are not limited to, microbiology, phage biology, virology, immunology, vaccinology, AI and systems biology, spatial OMICS, drug research, digital epidemiology, precision infection medicine, RNA biology, human tissue engineering, and synthetic viral and bacterial engineering.
The Helmholtz Centre for Infection Research (HZI) is Germany’s largest academic institution dedicated to research on infectious diseases. It is a member of the Helmholtz Association, Germany’s largest research organization, and a member of the German Center for Infection Research (DZIF). It cooperates with its regional university partners, the Technical University of Braunschweig (TU-BS), the Hannover Medical School (MHH) and the University of Veterinary Medicine Hannover (TiHo).
HUMAN is funded by the Volkswagen Foundation and the Ministry of Science and Culture of Lower Saxony (MWK). The program is based on an integrative approach that applies novel technologies, systems biology, medical/life sciences, and informatics to understand, predict, and therapeutically target the mechanisms underlying health and disease.
