The Research Center Borstel - Leibniz Lung Center is looking for a

Research Group Leader Bacterial Structures and Metabolites

Your duties:

Your research will be located at the interface of analytical chemistry and microbiology, centered around the identification of microbial metabolites that aggravate disease or act protective thereof and which are involved in chronic lung diseases, specifically in asthma. This involves not only the description of such metabolites, but also their identification and isolation for potential transfer into clinical phase-I studies. Therefor, the application of innovative analytical methods for detection and discovery of novel bioactive compounds and their characterization is of crucial importance. The latter will be conducted in close collaboration with other working groups at FZB, specifically with the experimental microbiome research and bioanalytical chemistry groups. Your duties also include teaching and training in the sketched subject area. Additional interdisciplinary cooperations should be established with national and international partners, specifically with the German Centers for Lung Research (DZL) and Infection Research (DZIF).

Your qualifications:

PhD in the life sciences
Achievements equivalent to a qualification
to teach at professorial level ("Habilitationsäquivalente Leistungen")
Practical & Working expertise in microbiology and analytical chemistry
Mangement experience (own research group)

Please find the complete announcement here (click on Forschungsgruppenleiter*in (w/m/d), in German).

The deadline for applications is November 21st, 2020.

New edition of the DECHEMA Trends in Metabolomics conference!

Dear Colleagues,

Metabolomics is closing an important gap in the area of post genome research. Determining the information flow from genome to transcriptome, proteome and finally metabolome allows, for the first time, a comprehensive description of living systems.

The next Trends in Metabolomics meeting (27 - 29 April 2021, Frankfurt/M, Germany) will again cover current topics ranging from technical developments in analytics, the integration of metabolomics into systems biology to biomarker discovery in biomedical research. A young scientists' workshop on career perspectives will precede the conference. So far, these distinguished colleagues have accepted the invitation to give keynotes:

Hannelore Daniel, TUM,
Sarah-Maria Fendt, VIB Leuven,
Gavin O'Connor, Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt, Braunschweig, and
Dominki Schwudke, Forschungszentrum Borstel.

The programme committee, consisting of board members of Deutsche Gesellschaft für Metabolomforschung (DGMet) and the DECHEMA Working Group on Systems and Synthetic Biology, invites you to submit abstracts of lectures and posters by 1 November 2020.

Companies interested in sponsoring or presenting their products and services in the exhibition should contact Kristina Böhlandt for more information: This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.; Tel. +49 69-7564-129

On behalf of the organising committee,

best wishes,
