What role will science play as a catalyser for progress in the post-Covid-19 era? What research topics will drive our work? These are the questions that will be examined by top researchers from the African network at the Humboldt Foundation’s Sub-Saharan Africa Colloquium being held on 30 and 31 March 2022. Here, we present four outstanding individuals and their work.

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.
