Researchers at the University of Würzburg and the Spanish Cancer Research Centre have gained new insights into the pathogen that causes tuberculosis. The work published in Nature provides the basis for a new approach in antibiotic therapy.

For the foundation of the first two Dioscuri centers our RVZ group leader Dr. Grzegorz Sumara will return to Poland. The Grzegorz Sumara centre will focus on elucidating signalling pathways involved in metabolic diseases.

Visualizing specific structures over background fluorescence can be challenging. The Wehman lab has developed a labeling technique based on selective degradation that allows super-resolution insights on standard microscopes, improving the imaging of specific proteins, organelles, and cells in many model systems. The project has been published in Nature Communications.
