Research Acceleration Initiative (RAI) grant 2022 from CSL Behring for Elie El Agha

Tuesday, 27 September 2022

Seven medical researchers have been awarded a CSL Research Acceleration Initiative (RAI) partnership, including up to an AU$500,000 investment in each program over two years, to fast-track the discovery of innovative biotherapies to address unmet medical needs.

One of the awardess is KFO309 member Elie El Agha for his research program that is focused on novel cellular and molecular pathways implicated in the pathobiology of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis; a progressive lung disease that currently has no cure.

DGAKI Forschungspreis 2022 for Chrysanthi Skevaki

Friday, 09 September 2022
The DGAKI Research Award of the German Society for Allergology and Clinical Immunology (DGAKI) is intended to honor particularly high-ranking scientific work (e.g. habilitation or equivalent) of the field. It is awarded every three years at the annual meeting of the DGAKI.
The DGAKI Research Prize was awarded on 09.09.2022 at the 17th DAK in Wiesbaden to: PD Dr. med. Petra Zieglmayer, Vienna and to our KFO309 member PD Dr. med. Chrysanthi Skevaki.

Stellenausschreibung Wiss. Mitarbeiter


Am Fachbereich Medizin, Institut für Virologie, in der Arbeitsgruppe von Prof. Dr. Eva Friebertshäuser, ist zum 01.01.2023 befristet auf drei Jahre, soweit keine Qualifizierungsvorzeiten anzurechnen sind, eine drittmittelfinanzierte Teilzeitstelle (65 % der regelmäßigen Arbeitszeit) als

Qualifizierungsstelle mit dem Ziel der Promotion

zu besetzen. Die Eingruppierung erfolgt nach Entgeltgruppe 13 des Tarifvertrages des Landes Hessen.
 
Das zentrale Forschungsinteresse der Arbeitsgruppe liegt in der Untersuchung der Aktivierung respiratorischer Viren durch Wirtszellproteasen und deren Hemmung als antivirale Therapie. Im Rahmen der Promotion sollen neu entwickelte Proteaseinhibitoren auf eine antivirale Wirksamkeit gegenüber Influenzaviren und Coronaviren in Zellkultur und im Mausmodell untersucht werden. Hierbei kommen virologische, molekularbiologische, biochemische und tierexperimentelle Methoden zur Anwendung. Die Forschungsarbeiten sind Teil des Projektes D1 des LOEWE Centers DRUID – Novel Drug Targets against Poverty-related and Neglected Tropical Infectious Diseases.
