Germany has a highly efficient health service but is not in the international vanguard according to health system research. Ariel Dora Stern, one of the few researchers with a global reputation in the field, is now invited to Potsdam to drive this highly relevant and promising field of research, which has been underrepresented in Germany to date.

Arnim Wiek is a world leader in sustainability science and has played a seminal role in shaping its development. At the University of Freiburg, Wiek is invited to establish a Center for Sustainable Food Economy that will create synergies between existing research activities both there and at other universities in the tri-national Upper Rhein region. He will also help to reinforce efforts to internationalise sustainability research in Germany.

At the University of Cologne, Bart Thomma is to continue his research on soil organisms and their interactions with plants. He is expected to head a new Centre for Microbial Interactomics that is due to be established and within which he will focus on evolutionary microbiology. He will also cooperate with human biologists. After all, if we understand more about the genetics and interactions of microorganisms in the soil, this could be of use to medicine, too – in improving antibiotics, for instance.

Researchers have been trying to track down microorganisms that colonise human bodies and, especially, the intestines for many years. Amongst these microorganisms are viruses that specifically infect intestinal bacteria. Bas E. Dutilh from The Netherlands has made seminal contributions to exploring virus diversity and spearheads pioneering work in bioinformatics.

How cells sense and respond to mechanical signals is an important aspect of many biological processes, including the development of tissue structures and diseases like cancer. By recruiting the eminent researcher, Benoît Ladoux, Erlangen wants to become a beacon for mechanobiology on the international research landscape.

To regenerate human nerve tissue is the dream of every medical researcher working on therapies for diseases like Parkinson’s or spinal injuries. The neurobiologist, Catherina Becker, could help to make this dream a reality. She explores mechanisms that give rise to new nerve cells and help heal damaged tissue.
